Solution

The correct option is E I and III only
Oogenesis shows meiotic pause at diplotene stage of prophase I but meiosis proceeds continually in spermatogenesis. In spermatogenesis single primordial germ cell produces four haploid spermatozoa, while in oogenesis single primordial germ cell produces single haploid ovum along with three polar bodies. While spermatogenesis and oogenesis both occur during puberty. Thus option D is the correct answer.
