Solution

The correct option is D Secondary spermatocyte
Each male germ cell or primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I to produce two equal, haploid secondary spermatocytes. Each of the two secondary spermatocytes further undergoes meiosis II to produce two haploid spermatids. Therefore, total four equal, haploid spermatids are produced after second meiotic division.
