Final answer:

The correct order for the movement of sperm is seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra. Sentence (c) reflects this sequence. The false statement about the male reproductive system is that the prostate gland is located in the testes, which is incorrect as it is situated below the bladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the student's question, we need to fill in the missing item in each sentence, and then put the sentences in order according to the movement of sperm out of the body. The correct order of the movement of sperm, starting from production until ejaculation, is: seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra. The sentence that accurately describes this process is:

  • (c) Seminiferous tubules, Epididymis, Vas deferens, Urethra

This movement begins with sperm production in the seminiferous tubules within the testes. Once sperm are produced, they move to the epididymis where they mature and are stored until ejaculation. During ejaculation, sperm travel through the vas deferens, past the seminal vesicles and prostate gland where seminal fluid is added, forming semen. Finally, the semen carrying the sperm exits the body via the urethra.

As for the false statement about the male reproductive system, the correct answer is:

  • d. The prostate gland is located in the testes.

This statement is false because the prostate gland is not located in the testes but below the bladder and in front of the rectum.
