Answer 1

Hint: In human females, every uterine tube extends from the outer boundary of every ovary to the womb. The sides of the bodily structure possess finger-like projections that facilitate the assortment of the egg cell.

Complete answer:
In human females each fallopian tube extends from the periphery of each ovary to the uterus, the part closer to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum. The edges of the infundibulum possess finger-like projections called fimbriae, which help in the collection of the ovum after ovulation. The fallopian tube consists of four parts; the interstitial part, the narrowest part of the uterine tube, the infundibulum with its associated fimbriae near the ovary, the ampulla that represents the major portion of the lateral tube, and the isthmus, which is the narrower part of the tube that links to the uterus. The length of the fallopian tube is about 11-12 centimetres. The female internal reproductive organ tubes or oviducts consist of two muscular-walled conducts, that extend from the ovaries to the womb. It is within the female internal reproductive organ tubes that fertilization of the egg by spermatozoa happens. The cell then travels down the womb, wherever implantation takes place. The female internal reproductive organ extremity of the salpinx forms the bodily structure.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note: The female internal reproductive organ extremity of the salpinx forms the bodily structure, that is the portion of the salpinx is accountable for capturing the gametocyte expelled from the ovary. The bodily structure presents some expansions known as fimbriae, that surround the abdominal ostium of the salpinx.
