Hint:A polar body is a haploid cell which means that it has only one set of chromosomes, represented by ‘n’.

Complete answer:
Polar Bodies:
>Polar bodies are the haploid cells that are formed during the process of oogenesis.
>They do not have the ability to fertilise with sperms.
>They are too small than that of the normal egg or ova that has the ability to fertilise with sperm.
Oogenesis:
>Oogenesis is a process of differentiation of ovum.
>It occurs in the outermost layers of ovaries.
>Oogenesis starts from diploid cells called as oogonium which undergo mitosis to increase its number.
>The cell which undergoes primary meiosis is called an oocyte.
>This cell was arrested at the prophase stage.
>And when a female attains its poverty then these cells start their division and get differentiated into ovum and polar bodies.

So, it is clear that the polar bodies develop during the formation of Ova.

Hence the option C is the correct answer.

Note:Remember that in males sperms are developed when males attain puberty but in females ovum only get differentiated when they attain puberty because ovum get produced before the birth of a baby girl.
