Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The Prostate gland is a single large gland that surrounds the urethra. It produces a slightly alkaline, mailky secretion which forms `25%` of the volume of semen. It processes citric acid, enzymes (acid phosphatase, amylase, pepsinogen) and prostaglandins). Secretion of the prostate gland nourishes and activites the speratozoa to swim.
