Solution

The correct option is A Epididymis
'Stereocilia' are non-motile, distinct from cilia and microvilli. In structure, they are longer than typical microvilli and have more of the characteristics of the cellular membrane proper.
The epididymis is a tube that connects a testicle to a vas deferens in the male reproductive system. The stereocilia of the epididymis helps in absorption. They are long cytoplasmic projections that have no motility. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
