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.
