A major male sex organ that stores sperm.
A
Prostate Gland
B
Testicle
C
Epididymis
D
Vas deferens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored. The release process starts when the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.

Detailed explanation-2: -The epididymis is the male sex accessory duct. The main function of the epididymis is to store the sperms for maturation and transport it to vas deferens. It is a coiled tube attached to both the testes through vasa efferentia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cauda epididymis can store enough sperm for two to three normal semen samples. This is substantially less sperm than is stored in the cauda of many other species.
