Solution

The correct option is A 120 million
Out of the total sperms released per ejaculate, at least 60% of them should have a normal shape and show normal motility or forward movement. If the total sperm count is 200 million per ejaculate, at least 120 million out of those should have a normal shape and show normal motility or forward movement for the sperm count to be considered normal and healthy.
So, the correct answer is '120 million'.
