Answer
C. Muscle, D. Zygote
Explanation
Diploid cells are those which contain two complete sets of chromosomes, they are typically the body cells like muscle, blood cells, tissues. They have chromosomes from both parents. Sperm and egg are haploid and they contain a single set of chromosomes, half the usual amount. When sperm and egg rally together during fertilization it forms a diploid zygote, so a zygote is also a diploid.
