Solution

The correct option is C Fibrinogen
  • Semen is composed of sperm cells and seminal fluid. The seminal fluid majorly contains clear and viscous secretions.
  • These secretions provide vitamin C, fructose, and fibrinogen to the ejaculated sperm.
  • The fibrinogen helps in seminal clotting on ejaculation. It clots the semen and thus helps to keep the ejaculated sperm in the female reproductive tract
So, the correct answer is 'Fibrinogen'
