C
Skin cells

Answer
Correct option: D.
Sperms
(d) Sperms Explanation: Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes (half the number of chromosomes of a diploid cell). Sperms, eggs are sex cells or gametes, are haploid because when combined during fertilisation, restore the diploid state in the new organism. Nephrons are part of the kidney, neurons are nerve cells, and skin cells are somatic cells, all of which are diploid.
