D Correct answer
Explanation

Mitosis is the division in which a cell divides into two cells with same number of chromosomes in daughter cells as in parent cells. In meiosis, a cell divides into four cells in which the chromosome number gets halved. So, in spermatogenesis, a haploid sperm is formed from diploid cells through mitosis and meiosis.
