Solution

The correct option is D Ovum
In animals, during the process of sexual reproduction special cells having one half the chromosome number (gametes) are produced as a result of meiosis. The male gamete is called sperm, while the female gamete is called ovum. The haploid gametes (sperm and ovum) fuse to form a diploid zygote, which develops to form embryo.
