Solution

The correct option is C (i)- vagina, (ii)- uterus
The cervix constitutes the lowermost region of the uterus, an organ of the female reproductive tract. Cervix helps to connect the vagina with the main body of the uterus, acting as a gateway between them.

Mons pubis is a pad of fatty tissue, shaped like an upside-down triangle. It extends from the top of the pubic hairline to the clitoris. Mons pubis gets covered by pubic hair on attaining puberty.

The expulsion of faeces and the residual solid food materials is done through the end of the gastrointestinal tract called the anus. The cervix does not connect the mons pubis to the anus.

Oviducts are a pair of long, ciliated, muscular, tubular structures extending from each ovary to the uterus, which conducts zygote or ovum to the uterus.

The clitoris is homologous to the male penis, lying at the upper junction of the labia minora. It is an erectile organ with numerous nerve supplies which makes it very sensitive.

Bartholin glands (a pair) are very small, round glands that are located in the vulva (the area containing the external genital organs)on either side of the opening to the vagina. The fluidic secretion of these glands helps in the lubrication of the vagina.
