    Answer: C-Suspensory ligament.

    Explanation:

    Ligaments are short mass of tough, fibrous connective tissues which binds two bones or joints together. They also binds two cartilages together. In the Ovary they fixed the its mass to the pelvic wall. 'Suspension.'. Therefore the suspensory ligament is a connective tissues that linked, joined, connects the ovary to the wall of the pelvis.

    They are formed from the folds of thinning membranes that lined the internal cavity of the ovary.

    It is not regarded as true ligaments. Because it does not provide any physical support to any structure in the body. (Therefore the word 'suspensory). For example the true ligaments that connects tightly the humerous to the glenoid fossa of the shoulder.

    Besides suspending the ovary, it also serve as a conduit for vessels of the ovary; that is it encloses these vessels. these are; veins and arteries of the Ovary, nerves of the Ovary, and the lymphatic vessels, for drainage of unreabsorbed excess body fluid in the ovary.
