Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting or clipping the vas deferens, which carries sperm from the testes to the urethra, thus preventing the transportation of sperm during ejaculation. A mastectomy is a surgical procedure that removes breast tissue, a hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus, and an orchiectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the testes. These surgeries are not applicable to Ken's situation.
