A
fallopian tubes.
B
cervix.
C
vagina
D
ovary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A pregnancy starts with fertilization, when a woman’s egg joins with a man’s sperm. Fertilization usually takes place in a fallopian tube that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization happens in your fallopian tubes when an egg and sperm meet. An active passageway that moves a fertilized egg to your uterus: A fertilized egg (embryo) travels through your fallopian tubes until it reaches your uterus, where it can grow into a fetus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Contact between the egg and sperm is random. Once the egg arrives at a specific portion of the tube, called the ampullar-isthmic junction, it rests for another 30 hours. Fertilization-sperm union with the egg-occurs in this portion of the tube. The fertilized egg then begins a rapid descent to the uterus.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a sperm cell joins with an egg, it’s called fertilization. Fertilization doesn’t happen right away. Since sperm can hang out in your uterus and fallopian tube for up to 6 days after sex, there’s up to 6 days between sex and fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula.
