Solution

The correct option is C Vas Deferens
Sperm is produced in the testis, stored in the epididymis and transported to the urethra by vas deferens for ejaculation. In case of of vasectomy, vas deferens is cut at some point so that the sperm does not reach the urethra and hence no fertilization takes place.
