The correct answer is: **c all sex cells having 23 chromosomes.**
During meiosis, the process of gamete formation in humans, somatic cells (which are diploid) undergo division to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells). These gametes are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. In humans, this results in gametes that have 23 chromosomes, which is half of the diploid number of 46 chromosomes in somatic cells.
