Solution

The correct option is D Sperm
Human male germ cell is sperm. Each sperm is a single cell. During the last step of spermatogenesis, spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by the process of metamorphosis. These spermatozoa are known as sperms. Mature sperm consists of a head, a neck, a middle piece and a tail. A plasma membrane envelops the whole body of sperm. The sperm head contains a very little cytoplasm, an elongated haploid nucleus, the anterior portion of which is covered by a cap-like structure, acrosome. Sperm fertilizes with ovum and leads to the formation of zygote.
