Solution
The correct option is C Golgi complex The acrosome is a cap-like structure on the head of sperm cells formed from the golgi apparatus during testicular maturation. It contains digestive enzymes that break down the outer membrane of the ovum called the zona pellucida and allowing the haploid nucleus in the sperm cell to join with the haploid nucleus in the ovum.
