Solution

The correct option is A Rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens
Definition of accessory ducts

The accessory ducts in males helps in the storage of spermatozoa and the transport of them outside the urethra during ejaculation.

Sequence of Accessory ducts in males

The correct sequence of male accessory ducts starting from testis is as follows:
  • Sperm formation takes place in the seminiferous tubule, then it passes it to the rete testis.
  • From rete testis it passes to fine tubules called vasa efferentia which later opens into epididymis.
  • Each epididymis opens into a vas deferens.
  • Hence the correct sequence of accessory ducts is rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis and vas deferens.


Final answer
(A) Rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens
