During prevention of polyspermy in sea urchin the shift from ___1___ to __2____is the result of a small influx of Na+ into the egg through newly opened sodium channels. Sperm cannot fuse with egg cell membranes that have a ___3___ resting potential, so the shift means that no more sperm can fuse to the egg.

Human sperm are allowed to fertilize ova having non- functional ovastacin. The following possibilities may be of significance in the fusion of these gametes:
A. The sperms will not fertilize ova.
B. The sperms will bind and penetrate the zona pellucida but will not be able to fuse with ovum membrane.
C. ZP2 will not be clipped by cortical granule protease.
D. CD9 protein of egg membrane microvilli will not be able to interact sperm membrane proteins in the absence of ovastacin.
E. Polyspermy may occur frequently.
Which combination of statements represent the outcome of the above event?
