The correct Option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. The surgical method of sterilization in a woman involves cutting and tying the oviduct. This method is termed tubectomy.
  2. There are two oviducts having funnel-shaped fimbriate openings near the ovaries.
  3. Oviduct or fallopian tube is the site of fertilization and carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
  4. When tubectomy is carried out, the pathway of the egg released from the ovary is blocked thus fertilization fails to occur.
