Answer: (C) Mitochondria

Explanation:

Spermiogenesis: It is the process that converts spermatids in sperm, losing almost the entire cytoplasm. The vesicles of the Golgi complex fuse together, forming the acrosome, located at the anterior end of the sperm. The acrosome contains enzymes that pierce the membranes of the egg, in fertilization. Centrioles migrate to the region immediately after the nucleus of the spermatid and participate in flagella formation, the structure responsible for the movement of sperm.

A large quantity of mitochondria, responsible for cellular respiration production and ATP production, is responsible for the rapidly moving sperm and its located between the head and the flagella, known as the intermediate piece.
