Solution
The correct option is
C
Haploid gametic maturation
After meiosis 1 secondary oocyte initiates meiosis 2.
The process of meiosis 2 is halted at the metaphase II stage until fertilization occurs.
Meiosis 2 is completed only if fertilization takes place leading to the formation of a fertilized mature ovum and the second polar body.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
