Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
The urethra is the canal through which urine is discharged from the bladder in most mammals and through which semen ( the fluid like discharge containing male gametes, sperms) is also discharged in the males and hence, it is called urogenital tract. So, urethra carries both urine and sperms.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
