B
The male would be unable to pass urine.
C
The male would be unable to develop sperm.
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once they are cut, sperm can’t get into the semen or out of the body. The testes still make sperm, but the sperm die and are absorbed by the body. A man who has had a vasectomy still makes semen and is able to ejaculate. But the semen doesn’t contain sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -A vasectomy works by stopping sperm getting into a man’s semen, the fluid that he ejaculates. The tubes that carry sperm from a man’s testicles to the penis are cut, blocked or sealed with heat. This means that when a man ejaculates, the semen has no sperm in it and a woman’s egg can’t be fertilised.

Detailed explanation-3: -It transports sperm by peristalsis during peak stimulation. If vas deferens is cut the semen will be without sperms.
