Which of the following produces sperm through spermatogenesis?
A
Leydig cells
B
Prostate gland
C
Bulbourethral gland
D
Seminiferous tubule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution: Immature male germ cells (also called as spermatogonia) produce sperms in the process of spermatogenesis. Spermatogonia proliferate continuously by mitotic divisions around the outer edge of the seminiferous tubules, next to the basal lamina.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored. The release process starts when the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.

Detailed explanation-3: -The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.
