Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The primary oocyte is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube, not through the vagina. The vagina does, however, serve as a passageway for the secondary oocyte after it has been fertilized and becomes an embryo that travels down the fallopian tube and into the uterus.
