Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
The function of the prostate gland is to secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance, that constitutes around 30% of the volume of semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid.
Seminal vesicles secrete a significant proportion of around 50-70% of the fluid that ultimately becomes the semen.
The Cowper's glands or the bulbourethral gland contributes to about 0.1-0.2 ml or 5% of the semen ejaculate.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (D), 'All of the above'.
