Answer 1

The correct option is C A and D

Sperm is the male gamete and ovum (egg) is the female gamete. Zygote is formed by fusion of male (sperm) and female gametes (ova).
At adolescence, all the parts of the body do not grow at the same rate. Sometimes arms or hands and feet of adolescents look oversized and out of proportion with the body. But having a balanced diet can result in proportionate body shape.
Fertilisation happens inside the fallopian tube, and not in ovary.
