Answer

B

Explanation

A. Sperm head contains nucleus with densely coiled chromatin fibres surrounded by acrosome. Nucleus transfers the genetic material to next generation. B. Middle piece of sperm contains large number of mitochondria to provide energy needed for the movement. C. Acrosome present in the cap of sperm contains hydrolytic enzymes which help sperm to penetrate the egg. These enzymes break down the outer membrane of the ovum, called the zona pellucida, allowing the haploid nucleus in the sperm cell to join with the haploid nucleus in the ovum. D. Tail of sperm helps in propelling or swims the sperm cell forwards to meet the egg.
