The correct Answer is:
To determine which option represents a secondary sex organ, let's analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a secondary sex organ. Secondary sex organs are those that assist in the reproductive process but are not directly involved in the production of gametes (sperms or eggs). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **A. Testes**: The testes are primary sex organs because they produce sperm and hormones like testosterone. - **B. Presse**: This option seems to be a typographical error or a non-standard term; it does not refer to any known reproductive organ. - **C. Pierre**: Similar to 'presse', this does not correspond to any recognized reproductive organ. - **D. Vas deferens**: The vas deferens is a tube that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. It plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Among the options, the vas deferens is the only one that qualifies as a secondary sex organ since it assists in the transportation of sperm during ejaculation. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer is **D. Vas deferens**.
