Fertilization occurs in the:

  • A. uterus
  • B. fallopian tubes
  • C. labia
  • D. vagina
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: fallopian tubes. Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes where the sperm meets the egg. The fallopian tubes are where the egg is released from the ovary and where fertilization takes place. The uterus (choice A) is where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus. The labia (choice C) are external genital structures and do not play a role in fertilization. The vagina (choice D) is the birth canal and does not directly participate in fertilization. Therefore, the fallopian tubes are the correct choice for the site of fertilization in the female reproductive system.
