Solution

The correct option is A X - Egg, Y - Ovary, Z - Sperm
The egg is the female gamete which is represented by the label X. It is the haploid gamete produced by oogenesis in the ovary (Y) of the female organism. Z is the male gamete, known as the sperm produced by the process of spermatogenesis in the testes of the male organism.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
