Spermatogenesis does start at the age of puberty due to the increased secretion of GnRH, which stimulates the secretion of both LH and FSH. However, the assertion that FSH is solely responsible for the initiation of spermatogenesis is incorrect, as both LH and FSH play important roles in the process. Therefore, while the assertion is true, the reason given is false, and does not provide a correct explanation.

Option c is the correct answer.
