Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Usually only one mature ovarian follicle forms, which will release an oocyte during ovulation. The other follicles that started to develop will either degenerate or become atretic.

Note: A is incorrect because not all secondary follicles become tertiary follicles. Some will become atretic or degenerate. C is incorrect because primary oocytes are suspended in prophase I, not metaphase. D is incorrect because only one secondary oocyte and one first polar body are produced from each primary oocyte during meiosis I.
