- Vas deferens
- Seminal vesicles
- Testes

Answer
(2) Seminal vesicles
Solution
As per NCERT, in the male cockroach each vas deferens opens into the ejaculatory duct through the seminal vesicle; the sperms are stored in the seminal vesicles and are glued together in the form of bundles called spermatophores, which are discharged during copulation.
∵ The mushroom-shaped gland is an accessory reproductive gland in the 6th–7th abdominal segments.
