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.
