Solution

The correct option is D Capacitation
The last stage of the sperm before its entry into the ovum is the capacitation process. This is the maturation step in which there is a series of biochemical events and also an alteration in the acrosomal cap, that enables the sperm to fertilize the ovum. Capacitation is very important for the fertilization process.
So, the correct option is 'Capacitation'
