$1$. $\text{Oogonia}$ (Mother germ cells) undergo differentiation.
$2$. $A = \text{Primary oocyte}$ (surrounded by a layer of granulosa cells,forming the Primary follicle).
$3$. $\text{Primary follicle}$ develops further.
$4$. $B = \text{Secondary follicle}$ (formed by the addition of more layers of granulosa cells and a new theca layer).
$5$. $C = \text{Tertiary follicle}$ (characterized by a fluid-filled cavity called the antrum).
$6$. Finally,it matures into the $\text{Graafian follicle}$.
