Oogenesis is the process that originates the ovum, which is a much bigger cell than its counterpart, the sperm.
One ovum and two or three polar bodies are produced during this process. This is because the meiotic division is uneven and most of the cytoplasm goes to the future ovum, which means is able to have the resources needed to produce a new individual.
This means C) the cytoplasm and energy from the other 3 cells are placed into the mature egg and they do not have enough material to survive, is the right answer.
