Solution

The correct option is C Secondary spermatocyte
From spermatogonium, we get primary spermatocyte. From one primary spermatocyte, by meiosis I, we get two secondary spermatocytes. Then from each secondary spermatocyte, we get two spermatids by the process of meiosis II, which result in the formation of two spermatozoa.
Thus, at the end of second meiotic division, we get spermatids and at the end of first meiotic division, we get secondary spermatocytes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
