Solution

The correct option is C Carrying genetic information
The sperm's head contains all of the haploid DNA (genetic information) of the father, as well as enzymes in the "acrosome", which enables adhesion and breakdown of the zona pellucida surrounding the egg.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
