• C. i- a, ii- c, iii- b
• D. i- c, ii- a, iii- b

Answer 1

The correct option is A i- b, ii- a, iii- c

• Seminal vesicles are a pair of glands which open into the vas deferens near to its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the components of semen. It produces sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm energy and helps with the sperm's motility.
• The prostate gland secretes thin, milky coloured, and alkaline fluid. They function to enhance the motility of the sperm.
• The paired bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands are small, about the size of a pea, secret an alkaline mucus-like fluid. This fluid neutralizes the acidity of the urine residue in the urethra, helps to neutralize the acidity of the vagina.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
