Solution

The correct option is D $30 %$
Seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands are accessory glands of the male reproductive system.
Semen also is known as seminal fluid is a slightly alkaline mixture of sperm cells and secretions from the accessory glands.
Around sixty percent of the volume of the semen is made of secretions from the seminal vesicles and 30 percent of the volume is from the prostatic fluid. Thus the correct answer is option D.
