Solution
The correct option is B Top of head
A mature human sperm has three distinct parts: a head, a middle piece, and a tail. The head contains a nucleus, which in turn is covered by a cap called the acrosome. It stores enzymes needed to penetrate the egg. The neck is the small region that holds the middle piece and head together. Middle piece has mitochondria, that provide energy for the movement of the tail. Tail has a structure similar to that of the flagellum and helps the sperm to swim towards the egg.
