The correct option is B Testes to epididymis
The key male reproductive organs include the testes, epididymis, urethra, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicle, and penis. The testes are composed of coiled structures called seminiferous tubules, which are the sites of sperm production. The structure on top of the seminiferous tubules in the testes is the epididymis. The function of vas deferens, also called ductus deferens, is to transport sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts. The sperm migrates from of the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis. Within the epididymis, the sperm matures while they are stored in this structure. The path of transport of gametes is Seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis. So, if vasa efferentia are blocked the gametes from testes will not enter epididymis.
