Solution

The correct option is A False
Fertilizin

● Fertilizin is a chemical substance secreted by mature ovum.
● Fertilizin specifically binds to another substance called antifertilizin that is found surrounding the sperm.
● This interaction helps the sperm to attach to the egg ensuring that fertilisation of the ovum takes place by the sperm of its own species.
