Solution
The correct option is B3
During oogenesis the total number of polar bodies formed is 3.
The end result of every meiotic division is 4 haploid cells, of which only one is allowed to develop, while the other 3 are rendered non functional. These 3 non functional haploid cells are called polar bodies
