The answer is option C i.e. "It occurs in haploid cells".

No meiosis can occur in haploid cells. A haploid organism (n) produces gametes (n) by mitotic division. These gametes (n) are then fused by fertilization to produce a zygote which is diploid. This zygote or diploid cell then undergoes meiotic division to again produce a haploid organism (n).
