Solution

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.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Golgi apparatus'.
