Solution

The correct option is B To provide nourishment to sperms
The prostate gland is a chestnut-shaped gland located between the bladder and penis in males. Its secretion provides nourishment and protection to the sperms. The muscles of the prostate gland also help in propelling the seminal fluid into the urethra during ejaculation. Its secretion forms about one third of the volume of semen and contains various enzymes, zinc and citric acid.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
