The duct that propels live sperm toward ejaculation is the
A
vas deferens
B
fallopian tube
C
seminiferous tubule
D
epididymis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Here, the vas deferens joins with the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the urethra. When ejaculation occurs, rhythmic muscle movements propel the sperm forward.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vas deferens (singular) is also called a ductus deferens or a sperm duct. This long muscular tube runs from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity behind your bladder and connects to your urethra through a structure called the ejaculatory duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mature sperm begin their journey by travelling from the epididymis to the vas deferens, which propels sperm forward with smooth muscle contractions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The principal function of the vas deferens is to transport sperm from the testes and out of the body during ejaculation. Here’s how it works: During arousal, muscle contractions help move the sperm from the epididymis through the vas deferens.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two ejaculatory ducts, left and right side, that are formed by the union of the duct from the seminal vesicle and the ductus (vas) deferens.
