Solution

The correct option is D frenulum of prepuce

The penis is the male external genitalia that conducts urine to the exterior and introduces semen to the vagina during sexual intercourse.

The prepuce is a structure that covers the head of the penis. It is also called the foreskin. The skin ridge at the back of the head (glans) of the penis is called frenulum of prepuce. It is elastic and highly sensitive to fine touch.

The corpus cavernosa constitutes a major part of the penis and has a good supply of blood vessels which helps in erection.

The mass of spongy tissue that surrounds the male urethra within the penis is called corpus spongiosum.

The scrotum is an extra-abdominal pouch within which the testes are located.
