Seminal Vesicle:

  • They provide seminal fluid, which is alkaline and viscous. 
  • Seminal fluid contains fructose and prostaglandins. 

Prostate Gland:

  • It pours alkaline secretion through 20-30 openings into the urethra. 
  • This secretion contains lipids, bicarbonate ions, enzymes (phosphatases, amylase, pepsinogen) and a small amount of citric acid.

Pair of Cowper’s Gland:

  • A pair of Cowper’s Gland is present on either side of the proximal part of the urethra.
  • Its secretion helps in lubrication of the vagina for smooth movement of the penis during copulation.

Note: The secretion of these glands is called the seminal plasma. Along with the sperm, the seminal plasma constitutes the semen.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
