In which organ does sperm production take place?
A
Testes
B
Penis
C
Prostate
D
Vas deferens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production takes place inside the seminiferous tubules, which is a convoluted cluster of tubes located inside the testes. Testosterone production occurs in cells surrounding the seminiferous tubules, called Leydig cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male gonads, testes or testicles, begin their development high in the abdominal cavity, near the kidneys. During the last two months before birth, or shortly after birth, they descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum, a pouch that extends below the abdomen, posterior to the penis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The testes are where sperm are manufactured in the scrotum. The epididymis is a tortuously coiled structure topping the testis, and it receives immature sperm from the testis and stores it for several days. When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct.
