Solution

The correct option is A Spermatid
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules. These cells are called spermatogonial stem cells. The mitotic division of these produces two types of cells. The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa(sperm) by the process of spermiogenesis.
So the correct option is 'spermatid'.
