Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the function of each part of the female reproductive system mentioned in the question. The ovary, fallopian tube, cervix, and uterus each have distinct roles in reproduction.

Step 2: Recall that the ovary is the primary organ responsible for producing egg cells (ova) through a process called oogenesis. This is a key function of the female reproductive system.

Step 3: Note that the fallopian tube is responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus and is the site where fertilization typically occurs, but it does not produce egg cells.

Step 4: Understand that the cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina and serves as a passageway, but it does not play a role in egg production.

Step 5: Recognize that the uterus is the organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus, but it is not involved in producing egg cells. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Ovary'.
