Formation of the sperm from spermatids is known as
A
Spermatogenesis
B
Spermiogenesis
C
Spermiation
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spermiogenesis. The transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa is called spermiogenesis. During this process pronounced changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Spermatozoa are the mature male gametes in many sexually reproducing organisms. Thus, spermatogenesis is the male version of gametogenesis, of which the female equivalent is oogenesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spermiogenesis is the process of transformation of spermatids into fully developed sperm cells with a head, neck middle piece and a tail. The non motile spermatids get transformed into motile sperms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The final phase of spermatogenesis is the maturation of spermatids from round to elongated spermatids and then to mature spermatozoa; this process, known as spermiogenesis, is followed by release of spermatozoa into the lumen of seminiferous tubules (spermiation).

Detailed explanation-5: -Spermatogenesis-The process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Spermiogenesis-Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, which sees the maturation of spermatids into mature, motile spermatozoa.
