The correct Answer is:
To determine which parts of the female external genitalia are included in the given options, we can analyze each item listed in the question: 1. **Ovary**: The ovary is the primary female reproductive organ responsible for producing ova (eggs). However, it is located internally in the female reproductive system and is not considered part of the external genitalia. 2. **Mammary Gland**: The mammary glands are responsible for producing milk to nourish infants. Like the ovaries, they are not part of the external genitalia; instead, they are associated with the breasts. 3. **Mons Pubis**: The mons pubis is a fatty tissue cushion located above the pubic bone and is part of the external genitalia. 4. **Clitoris**: The clitoris is a small, sensitive organ located at the top of the vulva and is a key component of the female external genitalia. 5. **Labia Majora**: The labia majora are the outer folds of skin that enclose and protect the other external genital structures, making them part of the external genitalia. Now, summarizing the findings: - The **ovary** and **mammary gland** are **not** part of the female external genitalia. - The **mons pubis**, **clitoris**, and **labia majora** are **included** in the female external genitalia. Thus, the correct answer is that the female external genitalia include the **mons pubis**, **clitoris**, and **labia majora**. ### Final Answer: The female external genitalia include (iii) mons pubis, (iv) clitoris, and (v) labia majora.
