Solution

The correct option is B Oviducal ampulla
The fusion of the male and female gamete is termed fertilisation. It occurs in the ampulla of the oviduct.

The oviduct is a tube leading from the ovary to the uterus. It has 4 parts. The part closer to the ovary is the infundibulum. It is followed by the ampulla. Isthmus comes next. The final part is the intramural part which is located above the uterine fundus.

The uterus is the inverted pear-shaped organ that accommodates the growing embryo. It has 4 parts- the fundus, cornua, body and cervix. The fundus is the uppermost dome-shaped part of the uterus. Cervix is the lowermost region of the uterus.

The ovarian stroma comprises the peripheral cortex and inner medulla of the ovary
