Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The assertion is correct since only two polar bodies are produced during oogenesis. But the reason is incorrect because only one ovum is produced from one primary oocyte at the end of oogenesis.
note: In the image, 3 polar bodies are shown, but the first polar body disintegrates before division, hence only two polar bodies are produced from oogenesis.
So, the correct option is 'Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect'.
