Sasha Rutherford · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The correct pathway of sperm through the female reproductive tract starts from the vagina (where sperm is deposited), moves through the cervix (the entrance to the uterus), progresses into the cavity of the uterus, and finally reaches the uterine tube (also known as the fallopian tube), where fertilization is most likely to occur.
