Solution

The correct option is C Both B and C
Cowper's gland secretion forms less than 1% of semen. On sexual stimulation, they secrete mucus fluid (pre-ejaculate) that is alkaline. This pre-ejaculate lubricates the vagina and neutralizes any acidity to facilitate sperm movement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
