The correct option is A Only I
Anatomically, the penis consists of three masses of tissues i.e. paired corpus cavernosa and single corpora spongiosum.
The urethra passes through the corpus spongiosum of penis cylindrical masses.
The prostate gland is a single unpaired gland surrounding the urethra, whereas seminal vesicle and bulbourethral glands are in pairs.
The fold of the skin covering the tip of the penis is called prepuce. Glans penis is the expanded distal end of the penis that surrounds the external urethral orifice.
