Solution

The correct option is A make uterus unsuitable for implantation
When a sperm reaches the ovum, it is able to penetrate this layer with the assistance of the hyaluronidase enzymes secreted by the acrosome present at the top of the sperm. Once this occurs, the nucleus of the sperm combines with the nucleus of the egg.
