The correct option is C A - Mitochondria, provides energy for swimming
Sperm cells are the human male gametes that are produced in the testes (reproductive organ). Morphologically, sperm cells are made up of the head, middle piece (body) and tail part.
Mitochondria present in the middle piece of the sperm helps in the generation of ATP which facilitates sperm motility.
Acrosome is present in the head region of sperm which contains digestive enzymes that dissolve the zona layer (outer layer of ovum) thus helping the sperm in fertilising the ovum.
The tail of the sperm acts like a propeller. This tail is a long flagellum that pushes the sperm forward.
The head of the sperm contains the DNA (the haploid genetic material of male), which when fused with the egg's DNA, will create a new individual.
