Following features of spermatogenesis are not applicable on the oogenesis:

Meiosis occurs continuously in a mitotically dividing stem cell population.
In case of oogenesis, gamete formation is held at meiosis-I till puberty and then held at meiosis-II till fertilization of ovum by sperm.
Oogenesis is initiated during embryonic development while spermatogenesis is initiated at puberty.

So, statements c and e are not applicable to the oogenesis.
