Solution

The correct option is C They are concerned with the conduction of gametes
Primary sex organs in males and females are generally known as gonads. They are involved mainly in the production of gametes.

In the case of the male reproductive system, the primary sex organs are a pair of testes and in the female reproductive system, it includes the ovaries.
Secondary sex organs in a male are seminiferous tubules, epididymis, sperm duct, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, Cowper's gland and penis. The secondary sex organs in a female are the fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina.

Primary sex organs are involved in the production of reproductive hormones.

Only secondary sex organs in the male and female reproductive system are concerned with the conduction of gametes in the right direction to facilitate fertilization.
