Option A correctly describes the process of meiosis in the female reproductive system, where the second meiotic division results in the formation of three polar bodies and one ovum. Options B, C, and D contain some incorrect information or incomplete statements. The first meiotic division begins before birth and produces one primary oocyte and one secondary oocyte, which undergoes the second meiotic division only after fertilization. At the time of puberty, the primary oocyte resumes meiosis and completes the first meiotic division, resulting in the formation of one secondary oocyte and one polar body.
