B
Many eggs are fertilised by one sperm.
C
The fertilised egg develops in the stomach.
D
Fertilisation occurs when a sperm and an egg fuse.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Option C: Internal fertilization is the term used to describe fertilization that occurs within the body. In humans, female oviducts, or fallopian tubes, are where fertilization occurs. The motile sperm travels to the egg during fertilization and joins with it to create the zygote.

Detailed explanation-2: -ii) Both the angiosperm egg and human egg are stationary-In the Human reproductive system, the eggs or oocytes are released from the ovary, which then moves to the fallopian tube by the beating of cilia, to the uterus. Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube. Thus, human eggs are motile and not stationary.

Detailed explanation-3: -How are eggs produced? Eggs are produced in the ovaries, which are normally situated towards the back of a woman’s abdomen below the kidneys. The eggs develop from tiny cells inside the ovaries, going through various stages of development – known as oogenesis – until they are released once a month during ovulation.
