Solution

The correct option is A Fusion of the sperm with the egg
The acrosome contains digestive enzymes like acrosin and hyalurondiase. These enzymes help in breaking down the outer membrane of ovum called the zona pellucida, by breaking it allows the haploid nucleus in the sperm cell to fuse with haploid nucleus in the ovum to form diploid zygote.
So, the correct answer is 'It helps in fusion of the sperm with the egg'.
