Solution

The correct option is C Production of egg cells
  • Production of egg cells i.e. oogenesis is an example of unequal cytokinesis.
  • Here, primary oocyte undergoes meiosis-I to form a large haploid secondary oocyte and a small first polar body.
  • Secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis-II during fertilisation resulting in formation of a larger ovum (egg) and tiny second polar body.
  • So, the correct option is 'Production of egg cells'.
