Solution

The correct option is A 1
1 primary oocyte undergoes meiosis and produces one polar body and one secondary oocyte.
The Polar body further produces 2 more polar bodies and secondary oocyte also produces 1 polar body and 1 ovum. Therefore a number of ovum produced by 1 primary oocyte is 1. This process is known as Oogenesis. Hence option A is correct. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
