Answer 1

The correct option is D 4 only

Vagina has three main functions:
- It provides a passageway for the menstrual blood to flow from the uterus in a female during their monthly menstrual period.
- It receives the sperm during sexual intercourse and holds it until they reach the uterus.
- It works as the passageway for childbirth.
But the expulsion of faeces and the residual solid food materials is done through an opening at the end of the gastrointestinal tract called the anus.
