Solution

The correct option is D Spermiogenesis
Spermiogenesis involves transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa which simply involves differentiation but no cell division.

Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of sperms from spermatogonia which involves both mitosis and meiosis.

The process of formation of mature female gametes (ovum) is called oogenesis. The oogonia divides mitotically to produce primary oocytes which by the process of meiosis I forms secondary oocyte. The secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis II to form ovum. So, this process involves both mitosis and meiosis.

Embryogenesis is formation of embryo from zygote which involves mitotic cell divisions called cleavage.
