Solution

The correct option is A Oogenesis
The process of formation of an ovum from diploid germinal cells is called oogenesis. It is female form of gametogenesis.
Ovulation is the phase in the menstrual cycle, where there is release of egg into the fallopian tube.
Oviposition is to deposit or lay eggs.
Oviparity is to produce eggs, that mature and hatch after being expelled from the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
