Solution
The correct option is D Fimbriated funnel
The uterine (fallopian) tubes are about 10 cm long and extend from the sides of the uterus between the body and the fundus. They lie in the upper free border of the broad ligament and their trumpet-shaped lateral ends penetrate the posterior wall, opening into the peritoneal cavity close to the ovaries. The end of each tube has finger like projections, called as fimbriae. The longest of these is the ovarian fimbria, which is in close association with the ovary. The uterine tubes convey the ovum from the ovary to the uterus by peristalsis and ciliary movement. The mucus secreted by the lining membrane provides ideal conditions for movement of ova and spermatozoa. So, the correct answer is 'Fimbriated funnel'
