Solution

The correct option is B infundibulum

The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes transport ova from the ovary to the uterus. A uterine tube contains 3 parts. The first segment, closest to the uterus, is called the isthmus. The second segment is the ampulla and is the most common site for fertilization. The final segment, located farthest from the uterus, is the infundibulum. The infundibulum gives rise to fimbriae, fingerlike projections that are responsible for picking up the egg released by the ovary.
