Solution

The correct option is A Only one
The semen, secreted by male contains 100-200 millions of sperms. The healthy sperms in the semen then go to the cervix, then pass through the uterus and then ultimately arrive at the ampulla part of the fallopian tube where they come to meet the ovum. Although so many sperms encircle the ovum, only one sperm is allowed to penetrate the ovum.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
