A
2n
B
n
C
4n
D
1/2 n
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).

Detailed explanation-2: -The ‘2n’ stage represents the diploid stage. During this condition, two sets of chromosomes are present within one cell. In almost all human cells, that is somatic cells the diploidy results in 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. Diploid cells possess two copies of genes as a result of two sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diploid cells in Human body Humans are diploid (2n), hence each human has two copies of chromosomes in the nucleus of their cells. This is to say that there are two copies of chromosome 1, two copies of chromosome 2, two copies of chromosome 3 and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diploid Cells The diploid chromosome number is the number of chromosomes within a cell’s nucleus. This number is represented as 2n.
