The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where sperms develop. It is important to identify the correct anatomical structure involved in sperm development. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The options given are: - A) Vas deferens - B) Seminiferous tubules - C) Prostate gland - D) Interstitial cells 3. **Function of Each Option**: - **Vas deferens**: This is a duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. It does not play a role in the development of sperm. - **Seminiferous tubules**: These are the coiled structures located within the testes where sperm production occurs. This is where spermatogenesis takes place. - **Prostate gland**: This gland contributes fluid to semen but does not develop sperm. - **Interstitial cells**: These cells produce testosterone but are not directly involved in the development of sperm. 4. **Spermatogenesis Process**: In the seminiferous tubules, spermatogonia undergo several stages of division (mitosis and meiosis) to develop into spermatozoa (sperms). This process includes the transformation from primary spermatocytes to secondary spermatocytes and finally to spermatids, which mature into sperm. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question "Sperms develop in" is **B) Seminiferous tubules**. **Final Answer**: B) Seminiferous tubules ---
