Where do the egg and sperm meet?
A
The ovary
B
The fallopian tube / oviduct
C
The vas deferens
D
The uterus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The fimbriae catch an egg once it’s released from your ovary and sweep it gently into your fallopian tube. Ampulla: The major channel in your fallopian tube, located in-between the infundibulum and the isthmus. Fertilization most often takes place in the ampulla.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sperm and uterus work together to move the sperm towards the fallopian tubes. If an egg is moving through your fallopian tubes at the same time, the sperm and egg can join together. The sperm has up to six days to join with an egg before it dies. When a sperm cell joins with an egg, it’s called fertilization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Egg transport typically occurs in two phases: slow transport in the ampulla (approximately 72 h) and a more rapid phase (8 h) during which the egg or embryo passes through the isthmus and into the uterus.
