Solution

The correct option is B Fallopian tube
In mammals like humans sperm passes through the cervix and reached fallopian tube where it fused with ovum called as fertilization and a zygote is formed. The zygote undergoes mitotic division and develops into the blastocyst. At the blastocyst stage, it implanted in the uterus and develops into the embryo which is then delivered through the vagina in normal delivery.
So, the correct answer is option B.
