Answer 1

The correct option is C They are formed from gonads

A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. Gametes (germ cells) are produced in the gonads. In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome.
