The correct option is A Male accessory glands Secretions from male accessory glands are rich in fructose, calcium and some enzymes. The male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral glands. Secretions of these glands constitute the seminal plasma which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes. The secretions of bulbourethral glands also help in the lubrication of penis.
