Answer: a) Ovary Only

Explanation: A polar body is a tiny haploid cell that develops concurrently with an egg cell during oogenesis, although it typically cannot be fertilized. It gets its name from the egg's arctic location.

Animals' specific diploid cells can divide unevenly as they go through cytokinesis after meiosis to form egg cells. The egg or ovum, which is made up of just one daughter cell, receives the majority of the cytoplasm, whereas the smaller polar bodies only receive a small fraction of it. They typically undergo apoptosis, which causes them to die and disintegrate, but occasionally they survive and play a crucial role in the organism's life cycle.
