Solution

The correct option is B Fallopian tube
  • During copulation (coitus) semen is released by the penis into the vagina (insemination).
  • The motile sperms swim rapidly, pass through the cervix, enter into the uterus and finally reach the ampullary region of the fallopian tube.
  • The ovum released by the ovary is also transported to the ampullary region of fallopian tube where fertilisation takes place.
  • So, the correct option is 'Fallopian tube'.
