Solution
The correct option is B Golgi body
The acrosome is an organelle, that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa of many animals. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is completed during testicular maturation. In Eutherian mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes including hyaluronidase and acrosin. These enzymes break down the outer membrane of the ovum, called the zona pellucida, allowing the haploid nucleus in the sperm cell to join with the haploid nucleus in the ovum and completes the fertilization process. Hence, option B is correct.
