Only the reproductive cells are haploid. Either sperm cell or secondary oocyte. So, the answer must be sperm cell
 
sperm cell - Haploid: A set of chromosomes containing only one member of each chromosome pair. The sperm and egg are haploid and, in humans, have 23 chromosomes.
 
Only the reproductive cells (gametes) ie the sperm and egg are haploid.

All other body cells without exception are diploid having exactly double the number of chromosomes that haploid cells have.
