c) Sperm consist largely of cytoplasm, while oocytes contain little cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Sperm cells contain little cytoplasm. They are mainly comprised of a nucleus that contains DNA, of mitochondria and of a tail that allows them to actively move.

Oocytes are big cells with a large cytoplasm. They contain a lot of proteins and nutrients that will nourish the embryo in case it is fertilized by a sperm cell.
