Solution

The correct option is A

Energy


The small middle portion of the sperm contains mitochondria, and hence provides the necessary energy for the sperm to move. The tail of the sperm, sometimes called the flagellum, is a slender, hairlike bundle of filaments that connects to the head and middle portion. It facilitates movement while the head carries the genetic material.
