Solution

The correct option is B A-2, B-3, C-1
Homologous structures have similar origin.

Labia majora are a pair of fleshy folds of tissue that extend from the mons pubis in females. They are homologous to the scrotum of males. Scrotum is a pouch located outside the abdominal cavity. Testes are located inside the scrotum.

Bartholin's glands of females are homologous to bulbourethral or Cowper's glands of males. They both secrete mucus.

Clitoris is a tiny finger-like structure present at the upper junction of two labia minora.
It is homologous to the glans penis of males. Glans penis is an enlarged end of penis covered with foreskin.
