Solution

The correct option is A 4
One primary spermatocyte (2n) undergoes meiosis I and produces two daughter cells, each of which is called a secondary spermatocyte.
A secondary spermatocyte (n) then undergoes meiosis II and produces two daughter cells called spermatids (n).
These spermatids undergo spermiogenesis to each become sperm (n). Therefore 4 sperms are produced from the first spermatocyte. Hence option A is correct.
