C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Along the way sperm is nourished by a sugary fluid from the Prostate gland which is the most common site for cancer in men, and fluid from the Cowper’s gland which are two small glands located near the bladder. These fluids, plus the sperm cells combine to form semen, the fluid ejaculated from the penis during orgasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the seminal vesicles is to produce a fluid that is high in fructose, a sugar that provides nutrients for sperm cells, as well as other proteins, enzymes, and mucus. This fluid is a major component of semen, and it accounts for about 50%–80% of semen volume.

Detailed explanation-3: -They then pass through a long tube, called the ductus deferens, or vas deferens, to another storage area, the ampulla. The ampulla secretes a yellowish fluid, ergothioneine, a substance that reduces (removes oxygen from) chemical compounds, and the ampulla also secretes fructose, a sugar that nourishes the sperm.
