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.
