Solution

The correct option is C Head
  • Structure of sperm consists of head, middle piece and tail.
  • The topmost part of the sperm has a peculiar shaped head which contains the male genetic material, i.e., all the genetic information necessary to make a young one.
  • Middle piece contains mitochondria which provides the energy to the sperm for movement.
  • Tail which is present beneath the middle piece, helps in movement.
