Solution

The correct option is D Zona pellucida

Antral follicles are characterized by the formation of a fluid-filled cavity called the antrum.

Zona pellucida is the outer covering of the follicle that is made up of glycoprotein which has sperm receptors.

Granulosa cell refers to the layer of cells that surrounds mammalian oocytes. They provide necessary nutrients to the developing and maturing oocyte.

Theca interna cells consist of many glandular cells and many small blood vessels, which produces estrogen.

Ovarian stroma follicle is made up of an extracellular matrix containing connective tissue cells.
