Solution

The correct option is B Oviduct
In the adult human female, single griffin follicle matures during each menstrual cycle and single ovum is released into an oviduct under the influence of sex hormones mainly FSH and LH.
But sometimes there is the release of two eggs in the single menstrual cycle which after fertilization with two different sperms forms fraternal twins.
