Tick on haploid cell in oogenesis.
A
secondary oocyte
B
primary oocyte
C
polar body
D
oogonia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A polar body is the byproduct of an oocyte meiotic division. It is the small cell that normally apoptoses, and in textbook figures, it usually just disappears.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar bodies remove one-half of the diploid chromosome set produced by meiotic division in the egg. So, the secondary oocyte and first polar body are haploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polar bodies are very small and haploid cells that can not undergo fertilization. All the cytoplasm is segregated into one daughter cell that becomes the egg or ovum. The other polar bodies with a small amount of cytoplasm will usually die and disintegrate by apoptosis.
