• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Ampulla of oviduct

During copulation, semen is released by the penis into the vagina. The motile sperms swim rapidly, pass through the cervix, enter into the uterus and finally reach the junction of the isthmus and ampulla of the fallopian tube. the ovum released by the ovaries also transported to the ampullary-isthmus junction where fertilization takes place.

So, the correct option is 'Ampulla of oviduct'.
