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.
  • Urethra is the common passage for sperm and urine which open outside of the body.
