Solution

The correct option is A corona radiata, zona pellucida, vitelline membrane
Ovum is a mature female gamete which is spherical in shape. Its cytoplasm is called ooplasm which consists of a nucleus and is surrounded by plasma membrane (oolemma).

The ovum is surrounded by the following membranes from outside to inside: corona radiata, zona pellucida, vitelline membrane.

Corona radiata is made up of many cell layers which are formed by follicular cells. It is present adjacent to zona pellucida.

Zona pellucida is a thick, transparent membrane surrounding the ovum.

Vitelline membrane surrounds the outer surface of the plasma membrane of the ovum.
