What type of cell division produces gametes?

Mitosis
Binary Fission
Meiosis
Sporulation

The correct answer is: Meiosis

Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes, which are sex cells such as sperm and egg cells. Mitosis is the type of cell division that produces identical copies of cells for growth and repair, not gametes. Binary fission is a type of cell division seen in prokaryotes, not eukaryotes like humans. Sporulation is a process of cellular differentiation in some organisms, but it does not produce gametes. Therefore, the most accurate answer is C.
