Solution

The correct option is D Antifertilizin of a and fertilizin of b are not compatible
The sperm contains antifertilizine on its surface and the egg has fertilizin.
Fertilizin is composed of glycoproteins and antifertilizine is made up acidic amino acids. The reaction of fertilizin and antifertilizin is known as agglutination. It is done to ensure that sperm of the same species mates with the ova.
So, the correct option is 'Antifertilizin of a and fertilizin of b are not compatible'.
