The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to categorize the given organs into primary and secondary sex organs. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Primary Sex Organs**: These are the organs directly involved in reproduction. In males, the primary sex organs are the testes, and in females, they are the ovaries. - **Secondary Sex Organs**: These organs support the reproductive process but are not directly involved in gamete production. They include structures such as glands and ducts. 2. **Identify the Organs in the Question**: - (a) Prostate gland - (b) Mammary gland - (c) Seminal vesicle - (d) Ovary 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Prostate Gland**: This is a male accessory gland that contributes to seminal fluid. It is not a primary sex organ. - **Mammary Gland**: This is associated with females and is involved in milk production. It is considered a secondary sex organ. - **Seminal Vesicle**: This is also a male accessory gland that produces a component of semen. It is not a primary sex organ. - **Ovary**: This is the primary sex organ in females, responsible for producing ova (eggs). 4. **Determine Which is Not a Secondary Sex Organ**: - Among the options, the ovary is the only organ that is classified as a primary sex organ. The other three (prostate gland, mammary gland, and seminal vesicle) are secondary sex organs. 5. **Conclusion**: - The answer to the question, "Which of the following is not a secondary sex organ?" is (d) Ovary. ### Final Answer: **(d) Ovary**
