Answer 1

The correct option is D It prevents the movement of sperms into the urethra

Sterilisation or surgical methods are used in male/female partners. Vasectomy is a surgical method that is performed in males. A small portion of the vas deferens is removed or tied by making a minor incision on the scrotum, that blocks/prevents the sperms from travelling down the vas deferens and meeting up with the secretion of the seminal vesicles. Semen production and release still exist but without the sperms.
The membrane lining the epididymis absorbs the sperms that have not been able to move out of the tube, the rest degenerate their proteinaceous form and are naturally absorbed by the body.
