Solution

The correct option is D Rete testis
Each testis has about 250 compartments called testicular lobules. Each testicular lobule has 1-3 seminiferous tubules inside which the sperms are produced.

All the seminiferous tubules of the testis open into a network of delicate tubules called rete testis. Rete testis opens into vasa efferentia. The vasa efferentia are fine tubules that open into a highly coiled tube called epididymis. Epididymis leads into vas deferens.

The above mentioned accessory ducts are in the following order: vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens → urethra.

Hence, rete testis lies closer to the testicular lobules.
