Solution

The answer is c.) Oogonia.

Explanation:

Oogonia are the initial cell type in the process of oogenesis. They are the precursor cells that undergo mitosis to produce primary oocytes.
Primary oocytes are derived from oogonia and are arrested in prophase I of meiosis until puberty.
Secondary oocytes are formed from primary oocytes after the first meiotic division and are arrested in metaphase II until fertilization.
Ovum is the mature egg cell that results after the completion of meiosis II, which occurs only if fertilization takes place.

Thus, the start of oogenesis begins with oogonia.
