A
2, 2

4, 0
C

D
1, 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polar bodies are cells that form by meiosis which differentiate and develop from oocytes. The polar bodies are products formed in oogenesis. Oogenesis is the process that takes place in females to produce female gametes which are ovum or egg cells. Polar bodies have a nucleus and little cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first polar body may divide to form two second polar bodies. On further division(meiosis II), secondary oocytes again form a mature ovum and one polar body. Therefore, one ovum and three polar bodies are formed after one oogenesis cycle.
