The correct answer is- D) It produces male and female sex cells.   Meiosis is a type of cell division that is a typical characteristic of sexually-reproducing organisms. It involves formation of four daughter cells ( that haploid) from a single mother cell that is diploid. It occurs during the process of gamete formation, which leads to formation of both male and female sex cells ( haploid reproductive cells like sperm and egg). Thus, option D) is the right answer.
