Correct answer: A. Sertoli cells
- A. Sertoli cells
- B. Connective tissue cells

Explanation
Spermatozoa are nourished during their development by sertoli cells. Sertoli cells are a type of cell that lines the seminiferous tubules in the testes. They provide nutrients and support to the developing sperm cells.Sertoli cells also produce a fluid that surrounds the sperm cells.
