Leydig cells
B
Prostate gland
C
Bulbourethral gland
D
Seminiferous tubule
E
Seminal vesicle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Production of fluid for semen: One part of the semen is produced in the prostate. Together with sperm cells from the testicles, fluid from the seminal vesicle and the secretions released by another pea-sized gland below the prostate (the bulbourethral gland), the prostate fluid makes up the semen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Accumulation and secretion of extraordinarily high levels of citrate are principal functions of the prostate gland of humans and other animals. To achieve this, prostate secretory cells must possess unique metabolic relationships which distinguish them from virtually all other cells.
