Solution
The correct option is C Polar body During the process of oogenesis (formation of egg), following steps take place: Oogonium undergoes ooctyogenesis to give primary oocyte. Primary oocyte undergoes meiosis I to producefirst polar body(which is later discarded) and a secondary oocyte. The secondary oocyte then undergoes meiosis II (the maturation step) to produce second polar body (which is very small and is later discarded) and an ovum.
