Explanation Explanation/justification for the correct answer: Option (a) the mesonephric duct. The development of vas deferens or ductus deferens happens from the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. The mesoderm, middle layer of the three primary germ layers in the embryo is responsible for the development of ductus deferens. The other two germ layers in the embryo are the ectoderm and the endoderm. So, the correct answer is an option (a). The explanation for the incorrect answer: Option (b) the paramesonephric duct. The paramesonephric duct also known by the name Mullerian duct are the ducts which are found in pair in the embryo. The Mullerian duct runs down through the lateral sides of the urogenital ridge and then terminates at the sinus tubercle in the primitive urogenital sinus...
