Solution

The correct option is D Fertilization
The cortical granules are present in the cortex of ovum. Their main role is when the fertilization is done and these granules move to the outer membrane of the zygote.
The granules then proceed with the cortical reaction thus preventing polyspermy.
These granules are regulatory in nature and a signalling pathway induces the cortical reaction.
So the correct option is 'Fertilization'
