Solution

The correct option is B spermiation.
Following spermiogenesis (the process of transformation of spermatids to spermatozoa) the sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells and they are finally released from the seminiferous tubules. This process is called spermiation.
So, the correct answer is 'spermiation'.
