D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -These include the vas deferens (a long tube that carries sperm out of the testes), epididymis (a coiled tube that is attached to each of the testes and is where the sperm mature and are stored), prostate gland, penis, and testes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ductus deferens, or vas deferens, is a fibromuscular tube that is continuation of the epididymis and is an excretory duct of the testis. Each ductus is 30-45 cm in length and serves to transport sperms cells from the respective epididymis to the ipsilateral ejaculatory duct.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vas deferens is a narrow, muscular tube that connects the testicles (where sperm is produced) to the urethra. During ejaculation, the sperm flows out of the testicles, through the vas deferens, and into the tube (urethra) that leads outside the body through the penis.
