Solution

The correct option is C Fimbriae
An ovary is not directly connected to its adjacent fallopian tube.
The edges of the fallopian tube have finger-like projections, called the fimbriae. They are structures similar to cilia present inside the fallopian tube. They pick up the ovum released from the ovary and push it into the oviduct or the fallopian tubes.
