20 chromosomes in the gametes and 10 in the somatic cells
40 chromosomes in the gametes and 20 in the somatic cells
20 chromosomes in the gametes and 40 in the somatic cells
40 chromosomes in the gametes and 40 in the somatic cells

The number of chromosomes in a body cell (somatic cells) is known as diploid number is double the number of chromosomes in a gamete known as haploid number
where by haploid number is = n
and diploid is = 2n
therefore n= 20 chromosomes in the gamete and
2n i.e 2(20) = 40 chromosomes is the somatic cell or body cell thus making option C correct
