Solution

The correct option is C Azoospermia
The human male ejaculates about 200 to 300 million sperms during a coitus of which, for normal fertility, at least 60 per cent sperms must have normal shape and size and for at least 40 per cent of them must show vigorous motility. Sperms released from the seminiferous tubules are transported by the accessory ducts. Secretions of epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle and prostate are essential for maturation and motility of sperms. The seminal plasma along with the sperms constitute the semen.
Azoospermia is the medical condition of a man not having any measurable level of sperm in his semen. It is associated with very low levels of fertility or even sterility. Oligozoospermia, refers to semen with a low concentration of sperm and is a common finding in male infertility. Polyspermia is an abnormally profuse production of semen.
Thus, the correct option is (C).
