C Correct answer
Explanation

Sperm cells are streamlined and propel themselves using a flagellum (tail) that whips in a coordinated manner to swim toward the egg. Option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because sperm have a single flagellum, not cilia. Option B is false - sperm are highly motile cells designed specifically to reach the egg.
