Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] The marked structure 1, 2, 3 and 4 are respectively called as seminal vesicles, urinary bladder, ejaculatory duct and bulbourethral gland.

Bulbourethral gland, also called Cowper’s gland, is a pea sized gland that lies beneath the prostate gland and whose secretion neutralises the acidity of the urine in the urethra.
