Solution

The correct option is B Seminal vesicles
One pair of trilobed testes are present in 4-6th abdominal segments. Sperms are produced inside the testes.

Vas deferens is a thin duct that arises from the testis and opens into the ejaculatory duct through a seminal vesicle.

Seminal vesicles temporarily store sperms till they are discharged.

Mushroom gland is an accessory gland present in the 6-7th abdominal segments. It helps in nourishing sperms.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
