Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the function of each structure listed in the options: Epididymis, Seminal vesicles, Vas deferens, and Prostate gland.
2. The epididymis is a coiled tube that sits on the back of each testicle and is responsible for storing and maturing sperm cells.
3. The seminal vesicles are glands that produce a significant portion of the fluid that becomes part of semen, but they do not store sperm.
4. The vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts, but it is not primarily a storage site.
5. The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to semen, aiding in sperm motility and longevity, but it does not store sperm.
