Answer 1

The correct option is C

external opening of the urinogenital duct

The urinary meatus, also known as the external urethral orifice, is the opening or meatus of the urethra. It is the point where urine exits the urethra in males and in females, and also where semen exits the urethra in males. In males, the urethra originates from the urinary bladder and extends through the penis to its external opening called urethral meatus.
