Solution

The correct option is C

Lubricate the urethra for sperms


The Cowper's gland or bulbourethral gland is a male accessory gland. It produces a secretion that serves as a lubricant. The secretions from this gland are slightly alkaline and hence, help neutralise the residual acidity in the urethra.
