B
9
C
27
D
36
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Economically, carrot is one of the most important vegetables. It is an outcrossing diploid (2n = 2x = 18) species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carrot is one of the top ten most economically important vegetables in the world (FAO 2010). It is an outcrossing, insect-pollinated diploid (2n = 2x = 18).

Detailed explanation-3: -To change a diploid number into the haploid number, you divide the diploid number by 2 so it looks like 2N/2. To turn the haploid number into the diploid number, you multiple the haploid number by 2.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organism is diploid and it has 16 chromosomes. 2n = 16, n is the haploid number of chromosomes.
