The correct option is A Sertoli cells
Androgen binding proteins (ABP) are glycoproteins produced by the sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules. These proteins specifically bind to the testosterone and other androgens increasing its concentration inside the testes. This accumulation stimulates spermatogenesis.
