The correct option is D Golgi apparatus
The acrosome is an organelle which is present at the anterior tip of the head of the sperm cells or spermatozoa.
It is derived from the cellular organelle called Golgi apparatus.
This cap-like structure contains digestive enzymes called hyaluronidase and acrosin which helps in the penetration of the wall of egg cell or ova during fertilization.
