Hint:Gametes are the haploid reproductive cells which fuse with another haploid cell during the fertilization process in an organism and form diploid zygote cells. This diploid zygote cell undergoes successive division and forms an embryo, which develops into a fetus. Both makes and female contain different types of sex cells.

Complete answer:A multicellular organism which has true reproductive organs produce haploid gametes, such gametes are called sperm in males and ovum or egg cells in females. Male and female organisms possess different reproductive organs associated with different functions, which produce different gametes, sperm and egg, respectively.
The vagina is the part of the female reproductive organ, and it is the passage in the body of the female of the developed organism that connects the outer sex organ with the part of inner sex organ where the baby grows.
The ovary is the internal sex organ, which produces female gametes cells called egg or ovum cell, which is meant to fuse with sperm or male cell and produce an embryo. Ovary also secretes female sex hormone-like progesterone and luteinizing hormone, which is responsible for pregnancy in a female. The ovary is connected with the uterus via fallopian tube, where fertilization and implantation are taking place.
Uterus is an important part of the female reproductive organ, which is a hollow muscular organ that is located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. It is the place where fertilized egg change into an embryo is implanted to the wall of the uterus and undergoes further development.
Hence, the correct option is C.

Note: The female possesses reproductive age with a start with puberty when menstruation cycle starts in which the shedding of uterus wall take place in every month, and regrow itself and the reproductive age ends with the end of a cycle called menopause.
