2. Male reproductive cells (sperm cells) travel from the testicles to the epididymis, wherein they mature and are stored.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option B:

Vasa efferentia emerge from the rete testis, open into the epididymis, and transport spermatozoa from the testis.

Option C:

Vas deferens is a partly twisted thick muscular tube that emerges from each epididymis.

Option D:

The rete testis is a single tube of flattened and irregularly shaped anatomizing channels that opens from the seminiferous tubules of the testis.
