Solution

The correct option is D None of the above
The Bartholin's glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea sized compound racemose glands located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. They secrete (odorous) mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to bulbourethral glands in males. Bartholin's glands secrete mucus to provide vaginal lubrication.
Clitoris is not a gland. The clitoris is a tiny finger-like external genitalia structure, which lies at the upper junction of the two labia minora above the urethral opening. None of these is homologous to prostate in males.
