The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Term "Spermatophores":** - The term "spermatophores" refers to structures associated with sperm. They are involved in the reproductive process, particularly in the transfer of sperm. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - The options provided are: - A) Spermatotheca - B) Packets of sperm - C) Spermathecal apertures - D) Egg capsule 3. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Option A: Spermatotheca** - This is a structure found in female organisms, specifically in female cockroaches, where sperm is stored. Therefore, it cannot be the correct answer as it does not relate to the male reproductive function. - **Option B: Packets of sperm** - This option directly describes what spermatophores are. They are indeed packets that contain sperm, which can be transferred during reproduction. - **Option C: Spermathecal apertures** - This term refers to the openings of the spermatheca, which again relates to the female reproductive system. Thus, it is not the correct answer. - **Option D: Egg capsule** - This option pertains to the female reproductive system as well, as it refers to the protective covering around eggs. Therefore, it is also not the correct answer. 4. **Conclusion:** - After evaluating all the options, the correct answer is **B) Packets of sperm**. Spermatophores are indeed packets in which sperm is stored or transferred.
