The correct statement is:
**D. The end product of mitosis is two cells, whereas the end product of meiosis is four cells.**
In detail:
- Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four genetically diverse daughter cells, which are haploid, typically used in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs).
