Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The basic difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis is that four mature sperm are produced from one parent cell during spermatogenesis, while in oogenesis, only one mature ovum is produced. Additionally, oogenesis involves both meiosis and mitosis, while spermatogenesis only involves meiosis. The mature ovum is also typically larger and contains more cytoplasm than the mature sperm.
