Solution
During development, spermatozoa are nourished by sertoli cells.
Explanation:
These cells support and provide nutrients to the developing sperm cells within the seminiferous tubules. Sertoli cells also help in the process of spermiation, releasing mature spermatozoa into the lumen of the tubules. Other options are incorrect because fructose is an energy source outside cells, leydig cells produce testosterone, and mitochondria provide energy but do not nourish spermatozoa.
