Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context of the question: A spay surgery is a common veterinary procedure performed on female animals to prevent reproduction and eliminate the risk of certain diseases.

Identify the anatomical structures involved in reproduction in female animals. These include the ovaries, which produce eggs and hormones, and the uterus, where fetal development occurs.

Recognize that the goal of a spay surgery is to remove the reproductive organs responsible for egg production and fetal development. This typically involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus.

Differentiate the listed structures: Testes, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles are male reproductive organs and are not relevant to a spay surgery, which is performed on females.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Ovaries and uterus,' as these are the structures removed during a spay surgery to prevent reproduction and associated health risks in female animals.
