C

D
thyroid gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skene’s glands aren’t a well-known organ, but they play a role in your sexual and urinary health. The tissues that surround your Skene’s glands swell in response to sexual stimulation. These glands secrete fluid during sexual arousal, which helps with lubrication.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Skene’s glands, or the female prostate, are an important part of both urinary and sexual health. The Skene’s glands are located in the vaginal wall and help lubricate the vagina during sex. These glands can occasionally cause issues if they become infected, which is referred to as skenitis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Bartholin’s glands (named after Caspar Bartholin the Younger; also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea sized compound alveolar glands located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina.
