Solution

The correct option is B Semen will be without sperms
The sterilization procedure helps to prevent sperms from meeting with the egg. The method of sterilization varies from male to female. Sterilization in males is termed vasectomy, whereas, in females, it is termed as tubectomy.

Vasectomy constitutes tying, cutting, clipping or sealing of the vas deferens of a male to prevent the release of the sperm. Vasa deferens is a tube that helps to transport sperms, but if it is blocked then, there will be no sperm in the semen.
