Diploid somatic cells contain two copies of each chromosome while haploid gametes contain only one copy of each chromosome. Because the somatic cells have 36 chromosomes, the haploid gametes will contain 18. So the fourth option is correct: the "body" cells will have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes will have 18.
