Best answer
Answer: (a) spermiogenesis
The haploid, round, non-motile spermatids formed at the end of meiosis II undergo a series of changes (formation of the acrosome from the Golgi body, condensation of the nucleus, development of the tail, arrangement of mitochondria in the middle piece and loss of most cytoplasm) to become motile spermatozoa. This transformation is called spermiogenesis. Spermatogenesis is the whole process of sperm formation, of which spermiogenesis is the last step.
