Solution

The correct option is D Both the A and R are incorrect
The vagina is a muscular tube starting from the lower end of the uterus up to the outside of the female body. The vagina receives the male penis during copulation. The elasticity of its wall also allows the passage of the baby during childbirth. Hence it acts as a copulatory as well as a birth canal. But fertilisation occurs in the fallopian tube of the female organism.
Insemination is the process to introduce semen into the vagina whereas fusion of gametes or fertilisation occurs in the oviduct (fallopian tube).
