The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
The life span of sperm after ejaculation depends on the circumstances. Ejaculated sperm remain viable for several days within the female reproductive tract. Fertilization is possible as long as the sperm remain alive for up to 5 days. Sperm can also be preserved for decades when semen is frozen.Hence, the correct option is (B).
