Solution

The correct option is C Spermatogonia - Spermatocytes - Spermatids - Spermatozoa
In the testes, spermatogenesis starts after males hit puberty. The spermatogonia are sperm mother cells that divide mitotically to form primary spermatocytes and then via meiosis forming secondary spermatocytes to convert into spermatids. These spermatids undergo differentiation and transform into spermatozoa by the process of spermiogenesis which is then released from the seminiferous tubules by the process of spermiation.
