Solution
The correct option is D Acrosome
The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of many animals including humans. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Its formation is fully completed 5–10 years after testicular maturation.
