uterus
B
cervix
C
ovaries
D
stomach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cells that undergo meiosis and drive reproduction are known as gametes. The female gamete is the ovum (“egg”), while the male gamete is the sperm. In human males, meiosis occurs inside the testes of the male and in females, it is in the ovaries, from puberty onward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both males and females use meiosis to produce their gametes, although there are some key differences between the sexes at certain stages.

Detailed explanation-3: -Female sex cells, or gametes, develop in the ovaries by a form of meiosis called oogenesis. The sequence of events in oogenesis is similar to the sequence in spermatogenesis, but the timing and final result are different. Early in fetal development, primitive germ cells in the ovaries differentiate into oogonia.
