Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) asymmetric division

The best explanation: Asymmetric division REFERS to the unequal distribution of cytoplasm between the daughter cells. Primary oocyte undergoes the first round of meiosis, producing a large haploid secondary oocyte and a TINY first polar body. Thus this is an instance of asymmetric division.
