The answer is A. Fringe-like ends of the uterine tubes.

Explanation:

Fimbriae are irregular, fringed structures found at the ends of the uterine tubules (fallopian tubes). The ovule or egg once expelled by the ovary is introduced into this structure, and goes down the fallopian tube, where it will be fertilized by a sperm (germ cell).
