B
vas deferens
C
erection
D

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: -Vas deferens-this is a thick-walled tube joined to the epididymis. It carries sperm from the epididymis up to the prostate gland and urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most obvious function of the epididymis is to transport sperm from the rete testes to the vas deferens. Total transit time through the epididymis is generally between 10–15 days [2]. Transport is achieved primarily by rhythmic contractions of the smooth muscle layers surrounding the epididymis.
