**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where sperms are produced in the male reproductive system. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Seminiferous tubules - B) Prostate gland - C) Glans penis - D) Ureter 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Seminiferous tubules**: These are structures located within the testis. They are responsible for the process of spermatogenesis, where sperm cells (sperms) are produced. - **Option B: Prostate gland**: This gland contributes to the production of seminal fluid but does not produce sperm itself. It adds chemicals to the semen. - **Option C: Glans penis**: This is the sensitive tip of the penis and is involved in sexual intercourse, not in sperm production. - **Option D: Ureter**: This is part of the urinary system and is responsible for transporting urine from the kidneys to the bladder, not related to sperm production. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only option where sperm is produced is the **seminiferous tubules**. 5. **Final Answer**: Sperms are produced in the **seminiferous tubules**. ---
