Solution
The correct option is B Caput epididymis
The epididymis is site for final maturation of spermatozoa. The epididymal duct is very long and devided functionally into 3 regions, the caput (head), corpus (body) and cauda (tail). The caput of the epididymis is connected to the efferent ducts of the testes.
Fluid secreted in the rete tubules of the testes is reabsorbed here and epididymal fluid is secreted. This fluid secretion is important in order to facilitate movement of the sperm through the epididymis. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
