What is a possible consequence of a blockage in the Vas Deferens?
A
the seminal fluid won’t be expelled
B
sperm won’t be produced
C
Fertilization won’t occur
D
mature sperm will not be transported to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sperm, now part of the semen, is then projected through the ejaculatory ducts and out through the urethra. During a vasectomy, each vas deferens tube is blocked or cut to keep sperm from joining with semen, rendering a patient infertile.

Detailed explanation-2: -An obstruction of the ejaculatory duct can lead to low sperm production, low sperm count, infertility, and post-ejaculatory pain. The condition is the cause of infertility in 1% – 5% of infertile men.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blocked ejaculatory ducts can be one of the causes of zero sperm count (obstructive azoospermia). Without treatment, men with this condition have a low chance of conceiving a biological child. Blocked ejaculatory ducts cause infertility in up to 5 percent of infertile men.
