Solution

The correct option is B spermiation

Spermiation is the process by which mature spermatids are released from the seminiferous tubule (tubular structure present in testicles where sperm formation takes place).

Capacitation is the penultimate step in the maturation of mammalian spermatozoa.

The sequence of events that leads to the formation of sperm cells from the haploid spermatids is called spermiogenesis.

Spermatogenesis is the process of origin and development of spermatozoa (sperm cells) in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Spermatogonial stem cells (sperm mother cells) undergoes mitotic and meiotic division for the formation of male gametes i.e., sperm cells.
