The correct answer is:

C. four daughter cells that are identical to each other and to the parent cell.

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are identical to each other and to the original parent cell. However, please note that this description aligns specifically with mitosis, while option C incorrectly states "four daughter cells," which pertains to meiosis.

Therefore, the accurately stated option in the context of mitosis is:

C. two daughter cells that are identical to each other and to the parent cell.
