Solution

The correct option is D Secondary oocyte
In the female, the egg is present as a primary oocyte condition. During fertilization, the sperm fertilizes the egg in a secondary oocyte condition and then the secondary division takes place after the fertilization. This forms the ova and the polar body.
So, the correct option is 'Secondary oocyte'
