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.
