The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which accessory gland's removal in the male reproductive system leads to sterility. We need to identify the glands involved in male fertility. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Seminal Vesicle - Bartholin's Glands - Prostate Gland - Corpus Gland (Bulbo-Urethral Gland) 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Bartholin's Glands**: These glands are found in the female reproductive system, not in males. Therefore, they can be eliminated. - **Corpus Gland (Bulbo-Urethral Gland)**: While this gland is present in males, its primary function is to provide lubrication and reduce acidity in the vagina. Its removal does not significantly affect fertility, so it can also be eliminated. 4. **Analyzing Remaining Options**: - **Seminal Vesicle**: This gland secretes fluids that provide nutrients (like fructose) and prostaglandins, which help in sperm motility and activation. While removal may affect sperm motility, it does not completely lead to sterility. - **Prostate Gland**: This gland is crucial for male fertility as it secretes a fluid that nourishes sperm and helps in their maturation. Removal of the prostate gland (prostatectomy) is known to lead to significant side effects such as impotency and erectile dysfunction, which directly affect fertility. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the removal of the prostate gland is most likely to lead to sterility in males due to its essential role in providing nutrients for sperm and maintaining their fertilizing capacity. **Final Answer**: The removal of the **Prostate Gland** leads to generally sterility in males. ---
