Solution

The correct option is B Nourish sperms
Sertoli cells are also known as the 'nurse' or 'mother' cell as they nourish the sperms during the process of spermatogenesis.
These are a part of the seminiferous tubules.
The Sertoli cells are acted upon by the FSH hormone and they have FSH receptors on them.
So, the correct option is 'Nourish sperm'
