Answer:

C.) A haploid cell formed in the female ovary.

Explanation:

The human egg cell is a haploid cell that it is formed by meiosis in the egg mother cell. Egg cells in human females have 23 chromosomes (n=23) while egg mother cells have 46 chromosomes (2n = 46). Human females have a pair of ovaries as primary sex organs which are the site for egg formation. The mature egg is released from ovaries to reach fallopian tube for fertilization. The fertilized egg is carried to the uterus for implantation.
