B Correct answer
Explanation

Each meiotic division produces 4 haploid gametes from one diploid cell. To produce 216 gametes, we need 216 divided by 4 equals 54 cells undergoing meiotic division. This is a straightforward calculation: gametes needed divided by 4 equals number of parent cells required.
