Solution

The correct option is D hydrolytic enzymes

A typical sperm consists of the following parts:
1)Head- It contains the nucleus (contains DNA) and acrosome. Acrosome is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. This membrane-bounded vesicle contains hydrolytic enzymes.
2) Neck- It is a short region present between the head and middle piece. It contains centrioles.
3) Middle piece- It lies next to the neck and has mitochondria to provide energy for the movement of sperm.
4) Tail- It is a long region lying next to the middle pice. The sperm swims about by its tail in a fluid medium.

Fructose is a monosaccharide and is produced by the seminal vesicles. It is released into the semen during ejaculation. Fructose is the energy source for sperm motility
