Solution

The correct option is D It stops formation of sperms.

Vasectomy is a permanent surgical method of contraception in males.

Vasectomy is done by cutting and tying vas deferens (final accessory duct) thus it blocks the movement of sperm to the ejaculatory ducts.

On cutting vas deferens connection between the male reproductive ducts and ejaculatory ducts gets blocked thus sperm cells will not be able to reach the ejaculatory duct, thus preventing fertilisation (fusion of sperm and egg).

Vasectomy is meant to be permanent but due to advances it is now possible to reverse the surgical process. However, some side effects may occur.

Even after the process, sperm production is not stopped. It can only only not travel through the vas deferens to the ejaculatory ducts. Instead, the sperms are absorbed by the body and cannot reach the semen.
