A Correct answer
Explanation

The ovum (plural: ova) is the female germ cell or reproductive cell in mammals. Neurons are nerve cells, leukocytes are white blood cells, and erythrocytes are red blood cells - none of these are germ cells. Germ cells are specifically involved in reproduction (sperm and egg).
