Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
Germinal epithelium is a thick layer of cells that covers the sex organs during the early developmental stage of the embryo. These are cuboidal cells found in both testes and ovary. In males, it covers the wall of seminiferous tubules within testes. In females, it covers the outermost layer of the ovary. The germinal cell undergoes division and differentiation to form haploid gametes. So, the correct answer is option D.
