The epididymis is part of the male reproductive system which collects sperm from testes and stores. The vas deferens is the duct which transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation. In the human male, the urethra opens at the end of the penis. The urethra provides an exit for urine as well as semen during ejaculation.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
