Solution

The correct option is A Hyaluronidase
Hyaluronidase is an important enzyme involved in the catabolism of both hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. The release of this enzyme from the acrosome breaks down the intercellular connections of the cumulus cells and allows sperm to penetrate between the cells to the corona layer.
