• A. $22$
• B. $23$
• C. $44$
• D. $46$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$44$

Some of the spermatogonia (primary spermatocytes) located in seminiferous tubule undergo mitosis. Each primary spermatocyte divides to give rise to two short-lived secondary spermatocytes, which in turn give rise to two spermatids. primary spermatocytes are diploid whereas secondary are haploid.

so, the correct option is '44'.
