    1. immature eggs
    2. mature eggs

Correct Option: B

A glycoprotein fertilizin (composed of monosaccharides and amino acids) is secreted by a mature egg. Penetrating sperm also has some proteinaceous substance on its surface called antifertilizin. Due to the interaction between fertilizin & antifertilizin, the sperm adheres to the egg.
