Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Blockage of the fallopian tubes is the most common cause of female infertility, preventing the egg from traveling from the ovary to the uterus for fertilization. Abnormal ova or mucus in the cervix can also cause infertility, though they are not as common. Residue from taking "the pill" does not cause infertility.
