Solution

The correct option is C Bulbourethral glands, seminal vesicle, prostate gland

Semen is the fluid produced by males that comprises secretion of various accessory glands such as Cowper’s gland, seminal vesicle and prostate gland, accessory ducts such as the epididymis and the secretion of seminiferous tubules of the testis. Seminal plasma is the fluid, non-cellular portion of semen. It is rich in calcium, fructose, and certain enzymes that provide nourishment and protection to the sperms.

It is a combined secretion of Bulbourethral glands (<1%), seminal vesicle (65 – 75%), prostate gland (25 – 30%).

The uterus is an inverted pear-shaped muscular organ of the female reproductive system. It functions to nourish the developing foetus before giving birth.

Scrotum is a loose pouch-like sac of skin that holds and protect the testes.
