Answer 1

The correct option is A I and IV

Testosterone is a steroid hormone that causes development of secondary sexual characters in males.

Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and secretes some amount of oestrogen.

Gestation period in human is approximately 280 days.

Bulbourethral glands are the pea-sized glands, which secrete a fluid that lubricates urethra and the end of penis.

Hence, statements I and IV are correct.
