Solution
The correct option is C Inguinal canal
The inguinal canal is a short passage that extends inferiorly and medially through the inferior part of the abdominal wall. It is superior and parallel to the inguinal ligament. The canal mainly serves as a pathway by which structures such as vessels, nerves, lymphatics and the spermatic cord (round ligament in females) can pass from the abdominal wall to the external genitalia. It is of clinical importance as a potential weakness in the abdominal wall, and thus a common site of herniation.
