Solution

The correct option is D Female reproductive tract
Capacitation is the biochemical step in the functional maturation of sperm. Here the receptors present on the sperm head are uncovered by removal of the glycoprotein layer that hides it. the acrosome head becomes reacy to penetarte an ovum.
This process occurs after ejaculation, when the spermatozoa leave the vagina and enter the superior female reproductive tract.
