Solution

The correct option is C mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
A sperm is a microscopic structure composed of a head, neck, a middle piece and a tail. A cross section at the midpoint of the middle piece of a sperm will show mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules. The middle piece possesses numerous mitochondria, which produce energy for the movement of the tail that facilitates sperm motility essential for fertilisation.
