Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Females produce gametes (eggs) in their ovaries. The cervix is part of the reproductive system but is not involved in the production of eggs. The fallopian tubes are where fertilization occurs but not where eggs are produced. The vagina is also part of the reproductive system but is not involved in the production of eggs.
