The answer is C) Each cell has eight homologous pairs.

n is the number of chromosome sets. If a species has a chromosome number of 2n = 16, that means there are 16 chromosomes in diploid cell. A diploid cell contains two sets (2n) of chromosomes. A haploid cell (gamete) contains one set of chromosomes, which is 8 chromosomes.
