Answer:

Midpiece.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sperm is the male gamete or reproductive cell. Sperm cells are haploid cell that cannot divide further and fuse with the ova cell to produce a diploid zygote.

The human sperm is divided into three parts- head, midpiece and tail. The mitochondria is present in the midpiece of sperm cell. Mitochondria provide energy to the sperm cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
