The correct Answer is:
To determine the parturition canal in females, we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Parturition**: Parturition refers to the process of childbirth, where a fully developed fetus is expelled from the female body. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(a) Uterus**: The uterus is where the fetus develops during pregnancy. However, it is not the canal through which the fetus is expelled during childbirth. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **(b) Oviduct**: The oviducts, also known as fallopian tubes, are primarily involved in the fertilization of the egg. They do not play a role in parturition. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **(c) Vagina**: The vagina is the birth canal through which the fetus is delivered during parturition. This option is correct as it serves as the passageway for childbirth. - **(d) Urethra**: The urethra is part of the excretory system and is not involved in childbirth. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(c) Vagina**, as it is the parturition canal in females.
