C

A Once one sperm has entered the ovum, the zona pellucida changes to prevent
other sperm from entering.
B Each gamete (sperm and ovum) has only 23 chromosomes. There will be 46
chromosomes when they merge.
C Fertilization causes the zona pellucida to change its chemical composition so that
multiple sperm cannot fertilize the ovum.
D Mitotic cell division begins when the nuclei of the sperm and ovum unite.
