Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Caput epididymis

Easy explanation: At the anterior end of the testis it is called caput epididymis(head), in which the vasa efferentia open. The middle part of the epididymis is known as corpus epididymis(body). The posterior end of the epididymis is called as cauda epididymis(tail).
