Answer - D
The body's somatic cells have diploid number of chromosomes hence the body cells would have 36 chromosomes. Gametes always have half the number of chromosomes compared to the somatic cells so in this case, gametes would have 18 chromosomes.

       Gametes have a haploid number, which is a half the number you find in body cells. The diploid number is 36 and the haploid number is 18.
