Correct Answer
(D) Female Reproductive tract
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (D) Female Reproductive tract Solution: Capacitation is the final functional maturation that sperms undergo in the female reproductive tract, enabling them to fertilise the ovum; it does not occur in the rete testis, epididymis or vas deferens. The NCERT chapter describes sperms swimming through the female tract to the ampullary region where they fertilise the ovum, and capacitation in the female tract is the NEET-extension detail built on this passage. NCERT Reference: Ch 2, p.35, line 23 — "The motile sperms swim rapidly, pass through the cervix,"
