C. Cells become haploid upon the separation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I.

Explicación

## Step 1Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. It consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.## Step 2During Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated. This process results in two daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This means that each daughter cell is haploid.## Step 3During Meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated. This process does not change the number of chromosomes in each cell, so the cells remain haploid.
