Solution

The correct option is A
Middle part of sperm

The power house of sperm or the mitochondria is contained within the middle part of sperm. This segment having mitochondria helps convert glucose, a simple sugar, into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which cells use to do work. Sperm use ATP to power the movement of their microtubules and propel themselves forward.
