The Bulbourethral gland, also known as the Cowper's gland, is a paired structure located on the lateral side of the male urethra. Its primary function is to secrete a clear, viscous fluid that contributes to the lubrication of the penis during sexual arousal. This fluid helps to neutralize any residual acidity in the urethra providing a more favorable environment for sperm survival and transport. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
