Correct answer: D. Haploid spermatid
- A. Diploid spermatids
- B. Haploid sperm
- C. Diploid sperm
- D. Haploid spermatid

Secondary spermatocytes are haploid cells, smaller than primary spermatocytes, and show coarse chromatin granules and abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. These cells rapidly undergo the second meiotic division and within 8 hours give rise to two spermatids. Hence, option D is correct.
