B)one 2x-1 daughter cell and one 2x+1 daughter cell
C)two 2x daughter cells
D)only one tetraploid daughter cell

This scenario describes a failure in chromosome segregation during mitosis, leading to one daughter cell receiving all the chromosomes (doubling its chromosome number) and the other receiving none. This results in one tetraploid daughter cell, as all chromosomes are segregated into a single cell, doubling its original diploid number.
