Solution

The correct option is D Vagina
  • Parturition is the term used for the birth of a child after completion of the gestation period.
  • Vigorous contraction of the uterus at the end of pregnancy causes the delivery of the fetus through the vaginal tube.
  • The vagina is a muscular tube that is elastic and it is a pathway for menstrual flow and birth canal therefore it is known as the parturition duct.
  • This process of delivery of the fetus takes place under the influence of the hormone oxytocin which causes strong uterine contraction.

So, the correct answer is option C.
