B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The prostate gland is located just below the bladder in men and surrounds the top portion of the tube that drains urine from the bladder (urethra). The prostate’s primary function is to produce the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm (seminal fluid).

Detailed explanation-2: -The prostate produces a fluid that mixes with sperm from the testicles to make semen. This fluid is stored in 2 tube-shaped glands called the seminal vesicles. They are found just behind the bladder. During sex, the muscle tissue helps force (ejaculate) prostate fluid and sperm into the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The seminal vesicles produce the majority of seminal plasma and most notably, provide fructose as an energy source for ATP production [45]. The prostate and bulbourethral glands secrete the remainder of seminal plasma in the form of ions and mucus that aid in sperm motility and lubricate the penile urethra [45, 46].

Detailed explanation-4: -Seminal Vesicle: This vesicle adds a sugary fluid to the semen. Prostate Gland: This gland adds a chemical fluid to the semen.
