Solution

The correct option is C epididymis
Sperm is a male reproductive cell/ gamete which is produced by the process of spermatogenesis in the testes.
Epididymis is a long tightly coiled tube. The sperm that is produced in the testes flow into epididymis where it is stored and nourished.
Vas deferens is a long duct which carries mature sperms from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
Ejaculatory duct passes through the prostate gland and opens into urethra.
During ejaculation, semen containing sperms are transported out of the body by urethral opening.
Uterus is a part of the female reproductive system which is a muscular organ and helps in implantation and nourishment of fertilised egg.
