Solution

The correct option is A Glycoprotein
Fertilizin is a glycoprotein that is found on the membrane of the ovum. The sperm contains antifertilizin which is basically acidic amino acid. This reaction of fertilizin- antifertilizin ensure that the sperm of the same species is fused with the ovum.
So, the correct option is 'Glycoprotein'.
