Solution

The correct option is A Ovary
The cells that undergo meiosis and drive reproduction are known as gametes. The female gamete is the ovum (“egg”), while the male gamete is the sperm. In human males, meiosis occurs inside the testes of the male and in females, it is in the ovaries, from puberty onward.
