Solution

The correct option is E Two haploid spermatids
Spermatogenesis is the meiotic division of spermatogonia to give rise to spermatozoa. The diploid spermatogonium mitotically gives rise to the diploid primary spermatocytes which further, via meiosis, give rise to haploid secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, and spermatozoids. The secondary spermatocytes produced by the primary spermatocytes further give rise to two haploid spermatids via meiosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Two haploid spermatids'.
