Solution

The correct option is B Mesonephros
The Wolffian duct (also known as an archinephric duct, Leydig's duct, mesonephric duct, or nephric duct) is a paired organ found in mammals including humans during embryogenesis. It connects the primitive kidney Wolffian body (or mesonephros) to the cloaca and serves as the analogue for certain male reproductive organs.

So, the correct option is 'Mesonephros'.
