Solution
The correct option is B Polar bodies
A polar body is a small haploid cell with small cytoplasm content is formed during oogenesis. During oogenesis female germ cells divide unevenly where most of the cytoplasm is segregated into one daughter cell, which becomes the egg or ovum, while the smaller polar bodies only get a small amount of cytoplasm. They frequently die and disappear, but in some cases they remain and can be important in the life cycle of the organism.
