The correct answer is:

**the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.**

During mitosis, a parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. If the parent cell has a diploid number of chromosomes (for example, 46 in humans), each of the two new cells will also have 46 chromosomes.
