B

D
Vas deferens
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each structure listed in the options: Seminiferous tubules, Epididymis, Prostate gland, and Vas deferens.
Recall that sperm production occurs through a process called spermatogenesis, which takes place in a specific structure within the testes.
Identify the seminiferous tubules as the site within the testes where spermatogenesis occurs. These tubules contain germ cells that develop into sperm and Sertoli cells that support this process.
Differentiate the roles of the other structures: the Epididymis stores and matures sperm, the Prostate gland produces seminal fluid, and the Vas deferens transports sperm during ejaculation.
Conclude that the seminiferous tubules are responsible for the production of sperm in the male reproductive system.
