The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

Vagina

Uterine tubes

Mammary glands

Uterus

Answer:

Uterus

Step-by-step explanation:

The uterus is a pear-shaped secondary reproductive organ of the female which response to the hormonal secretions. The uterus is also known as the womb where the new baby grows.

In the uterus, after the ovum is fertilized in one of the fallopian tubes, t migrates to the uterus where it gets implanted in the endometrium layer of the uterus. The uterus is supplied with the blood vessels which provides nutrition to the young developing embryo and nourishes it. The uterus provides physical support and protection with the developing embryo.

Thus, the uterus is the correct answer.
