Solution

The correct option is A One ovum
Primary oocyte undergoes meiosis I to form one secondary oocyte and one polar body. Secondary oocyte divides by meiosis II to form one ovum and one polar body. Thus, from one primary oocyte only one egg or ovum and two polar bodies are formed.
Thus, correct answer is option A.
