Solution

The correct option is B Ovum penetration
Each mature sperm consists of a head, midpiece and flagellum. The head consists almost entirely of the nucleus. Part of the nucleus is covered by the acrosome, a vesicle that differentiates from the Golgi complex. The acrosome contains proteins, including enzymes, that help the sperm penetrate the egg.
