Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, and it is involved in the production of gametes (sex cells like sperm and egg). Blood cells, brain cells, and lung cells are somatic cells that undergo mitosis for growth and repair, not meiosis. So the type of cell where meiosis occurs is a sex cell.

Answer:

C. Sex cell
