Which of the components of human semen are correctly matched with the glands that secrete it ?
(i) citric acid - prostate gland
(ii) Fibrinogen - Seminal vesicle
(iii) prostaglandins - prostate gland
(iv) Fructose - seminal vesicle

Options

A. i, ii, iii and iv
B. ii, iii and iv
C. ii and iv
D. i,ii and iv

Answer

To solve the question regarding the components of human semen and the glands that secrete them, we will analyze each option provided:

1. **Citric Acid - Prostate Gland**:
- The prostate gland is known to secrete citric acid, which is a component of seminal fluid. This is correct.

2. **Fibrinogen - Seminal Vesicle**:
- The seminal vesicle does secrete fibrinogen, which is important for the coagulation of semen. This is also correct.

3. **Prostaglandins - Prostate Gland**:
- Prostaglandins are not secreted by the prostate gland; they are primarily produced in the seminal vesicles. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

4. **Fructose - Seminal Vesicle**:
- The seminal vesicle secretes fructose, which provides energy to the sperm. This is correct.

Now, summarizing the correct matches:
- (i) Citric Acid - Prostate Gland: **Correct**
- (ii) Fibrinogen - Seminal Vesicle: **Correct**
- (iii) Prostaglandins - Prostate Gland: **Incorrect**
- (iv) Fructose - Seminal Vesicle: **Correct**

Thus, the components of human semen that are correctly matched with their respective glands are:
- Citric Acid from the Prostate Gland
- Fibrinogen from the Seminal Vesicle
- Fructose from the Seminal Vesicle

**Final Answer**: The correct matches are (i), (ii), and (iv).
