D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A narrow, tightly-coiled tube that is attached to each of the testicles (the male sex glands that produce sperm). Sperm cells (male reproductive cells) move from the testicles into the epididymis, where they finish maturing and are stored.

Detailed explanation-2: -It takes sperm around 4 to 6 weeks to travel through the epididymis, becoming fully mature, motile sperm. They are stored there until ejaculation. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce a whitish fluid called seminal fluid, which combines with sperm to form semen when ejaculating.
