The best description of the inputs and outputs of mitosis in a multicellular organism is:

Input: A single cell ready to divide
Output: Two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell and each other.

This accurately reflects the process of mitosis, where a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
