Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Fertilization normally occurs in the Fallopian tube (oviduct), specifically in the ampulla region, where the sperm meets and fuses with the ovum. The fertilized egg (zygote) then travels down to the uterus for implantation. The uterus is the site of implantation, not fertilization.
