Solution

The correct option is A 23
Primary oocyte is a diploid stage which undergoes meiosis to give rise to secondary oocyte and a polar body. This division leads to reduction in the number of chromosomes in the secondary oocyte. As a result, secondary oocyte contains 23 chromosomes and it is haploid in nature.
