What is the importance of gametes being haploid in diploid organisms?

A. two haploid gametes gus to produce a diploid zygote after fertilization 

B. because gametes cannot survive if they have more than one set of chromosomes

C. because germline cells will die if they are diploid and must reduce the number of chromosomes

D. it does not make sense for gametes to be haploid
