Options
A a gamete is formed
B diploidy is restored
Correct Answer
C the final phase of spermatogenesis begins
D another round of menstrual cycle begins
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Fertilization is the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg) to form a diploid zygote. The zygote thus has a complete set of chromosomes (diploid number), restoring the diploid state characteristic of the species.

Hint

The chromosome number goes from half to full.
