Solution

The correct option is A Seminal vesicle
Seminal vesicle provides sugar/fructose for sperm motility. The male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles are narrow, long pouches with muscular tissue in their wall, lying between the urinary bladder and rectum. They produce a fluid rich in fructose, an energy source used by sperm. This fluid is known as semen. Sixty percent of semen is produced by seminal vesicles.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Seminal vesicle'.
