B
Sperm storage organ.
C
Feces holding area.
D
It produces sugar-rich fluid that provides sperm with a source of energy to help them move.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The seminal vesicles make a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the sperms’ ability to move (motility). The fluid of the seminal vesicles makes up most of the volume of your ejaculatory fluid, or ejaculate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fluid from the seminal vesicles is viscous and contains fructose, which provides an energy source for the sperm; prostaglandins, which contribute to the mobility and viability of the sperm; and proteins that cause slight coagulation reactions in the semen after ejaculation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once in contact with females, seminal fluid may stimulate ovulation, modulate immune activity, provide nutrition, alter reproductive-tract pH, and form mating plugs.
