Solution

The correct option is C Sphincter muscle
Sphincters are a pair of circular muscles which control the exit of urine from the body.
There are two sphincters present, one near the opening of urinary bladder and other in the urethra, called upper and lower sphincters respectively.
When both the sphincters are open micturition happens, resulting in the removal of urine out of the body.
