Solution

The correct option is B
Nourishes and protects sperms

Prostate gland secretion or fluid nourishes and protects sperm and guides or squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it is expelled with the sperm as semen. The alkaline nature of this secretion helps sperms survive in the acidic environment of the vagina.
