D
Seminal vesicle gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This fluid neutralizes the acidity of the urine residue in the urethra, helps to neutralize the acidity of the vagina, and provides some lubrication for the tip of the penis during intercourse.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bulbourethral glands are responsible for producing a pre-ejaculate fluid called Cowper’s fluid (known colloquially as pre-ejaculate or pre-cum), which is secreted during sexual arousal, neutralizing the acidity of the urethra in preparation for the passage of sperm cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bulbourethral gland or Cowper’s gland, which is homologous to the Bartholin’s gland in females, produces a pre-ejaculate that cleanses and lubricates the urethra prior to the arrival of the semen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cowper’s glands secrete glycoproteins during sexual stimulation, which functions as a lubricant for the semen. In response to sexual stimulation, the bulbourethral glands secrete an alkaline mucus-like fluid.
