Solution

The correct option is B
Midpiece of the sperm

The sperm cell consists of a head, a midpiece and a tail. The production of ATP takes place in the mitochondria located in the sperm's midpiece (at the base of the sperm head). ATP provides energy for the movement of sperm inside the female genital tract.
