Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) In oviduct

Explanation

Fertilisation is the fusion of sperm and ovum to form a zygote.

In humans this fusion occurs in the oviduct (fallopian tube), where the sperm meets the released ovum.

The ovary only releases the ovum, while the uterus houses the developing embryo and the vagina receives the sperm.
