Daughter cells produced when cells undergo mitosis are genetically identical and daughter cells produced when cells undergo meiosis are genetically diverse. The answer to this problem therefore is option D. 
Answer; 
D. identical, diverse
Daughter cells produced when cells undergo mitosis are genetically identical, and daughter cells produced when cells undergo meiosis are genetically diverse.

Explanation; 
Meiosis and mitosis are the two major types of cell division. Mitosis takes place in the somatic cells (body cells) in which parent cells undergo division to yield daughter cells that have similar number of chromosomes as the parents. Meaning the daughter cells are identical to the parent cells in terms of genetic material composition.
Meiosis on the other hand, involves division in the germ-line cells in which parent cells divides to yield daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent, meaning that they are not genetically identical, however they re genetically diverse due to the process of crossover and recombination.
