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: -As the Skene’s glands become stimulated, they secrete mucus-containing fluids, which help with lubrication during vaginal intercourse. Researchers also believe that fluid excretions from these glands may account for female ejaculation.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The skene’s glands are paraurethral glands that arise from the urogenital sinus, they are located inferiorly and laterally on either side of urethra, adjacent to urethral meatus in the vestibule [9].
