A
Cervix

Uterus
C
Ovary
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Primary oocytes undergo gametogenesis, or meiosis division, in order to develop into an ovary or a female gamete. In females, the ovary is where the gametogenesis process takes place. Meiosis occurs in the ovary during gametogenesis in females.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is the kind of cell division that produces sex cells or the gametes. It takes place in the plant reproductive organs-anther and ovary.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis occurs in the ovary, leading to the formation of the egg. From here, the egg travels through the Fallopian Tube where fertilization occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -At this time, the first meiotic division is completed and the resulting secondary oocyte enters the nearby fallopian tube, where it begins the second meiotic division. In the fallopian tube, if fertilization by a sperm occurs, the second meiotic division is completed, producing the haploid ovum with 23 chromosomes.
