• C. His seminal vesicle will be removed
• D. His prostate gland will be removed and testes will be cut and tied

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Permanent contraception is methods of sterilization that prevent pregnancy permanently. The procedure for men is a vasectomy and for women it is tubal ligation. In vasectomy, a slight incision is made at the base of the scrotum in order to expose vas deferens. The vas deferens, which carries the sperms to the urethra, is tied by a thread, the sperms cannot go past the tied point. This means that sperm can’t get far along the tubes to mix with the semen. Men who have had vasectomies still ejaculate and produce semen but since there is no sperm in it, the woman’s egg can’t be fertilized.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
