Successful fertilization of the secondary oocyte usually occurs:________
a) within 15 minutes of sexual intercourse.
b) two weeks following ovulation.
c) in the ovary.
d) in the upper third of the uterine tube.

The fertilization does not take place in the uterus and the ovary but in the uterine tubes.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
