Answer:
C
Solution:

Steps involved in Spermatogenesis

Step 1Spermatogonia (2n = 46) are present in the inside wall of seminiferous tubules. Spermatogonium divides mitotically to increase in number.
Step 2Some spermatogonia (termed as primary spermatocytes) periodically undergo meiosis. A primary spermatocyte completes meiosis-I (reduction division) and gives rise to 2 equal-sized cells called secondary spermatocytes (n = 23).
Step 3Both secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis –II (equational division) to produce 2 equal spermatids (n) each.
Step 4Each spermatid is transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process of spermiogenesis.
Step 5After spermiogenesis, the head of sperms becomes embedded in the sertoli cells. Sperms are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
