The correct Answer is:
To determine the function of seminal fluid, let's analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Seminal Fluid**: Seminal fluid, also known as semen, is a mixture produced by several glands in the male reproductive system. These include the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (a): Sexual attraction** - Seminal fluid does not play a direct role in sexual attraction. Its primary function is related to reproduction rather than attraction. - **Option (b): To provide stability to egg** - Seminal fluid does not provide stability to the egg. The egg's stability is influenced by other factors, not by seminal fluid. - **Option (c): To provide a medium for the movement of sperms** - This option aligns with the known function of seminal fluid. It provides a liquid medium that facilitates the motility of sperm, allowing them to swim and reach the egg. - **Option (d): To provide acidic medium** - Seminal fluid actually provides an alkaline medium to neutralize the acidity of the female reproductive tract, not an acidic one. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(c) to provide a medium for the movement of sperms**. This is the primary function of seminal fluid.
