Solution
The correct option is B Hernia A hernia is a protrusion of bowel through a weak point in the musculature of the anterior abdominal wall or an existing opening. It occurs, when there are intermittent increases in intra-abdominal pressure, most commonly in men who lift heavy loads at work. In inguinal hernia, the weak point is the inguinal canal which contains the spermatic cord in the male and the round ligament in the female. It occurs more commonly in males than in females, usually in old age.
