Explanation

Solution

The external genitalia is part of the female reproductive system. The female external genital component forms a large part of the female perineum and is collectively known as the vulva. The functions of the external female genitals vary, such as reproduction and sexual pleasure, childbirth, and protection of the inner genitals.

Complete answer:
Ovary-The ovaries are small, paired organs located near the sidewalls of the pelvic cavity. These organs are responsible for egg production and hormone secretion.
Mammary glands-In humans, the mammary glands are paired and located on the chest wall of the abdomen. They are modified sweat glands. In men it is basic, in women it is well developed. The hormones oestrogen and progesterone are responsible for their development. After the baby is born, the anterior pituitary secretes oxytocin. The former is responsible for milk production and then stimulates secretion. The outside of the breast is covered with skin, and in the middle is a grain of erectile tissue. The nipples are surrounded by a pigmented area called the areola. The areola has many sebum glands called areolar glands.
Vulva: These are the female external genitalia. It consists of the anterior or genitourinary sinuses, which take the form of depression and are located in front of the anus. It has two openings, the upper outer opening of the urethra and the lower vaginal opening. The front is oily and covered in pubic hair.
This section is called the mons pubis. According to the male penis, the clitoris is present in women, which consists of erectile tissue. Two large thick-walled folds of skin from the edges of the vulva. These are the labia and contain sebum glands.
Between the labia majora, there are two small folds called the labia minora. Labia minora joins four times behind. There are two Bartholin's glands on either side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete a thick, clear fluid that acts as a lubricant during intercourse. The area under the quadriceps and anus is the perineum.
The vulva consists of all parts and external tissues and includes the mons pubis, labia minora, labia majora, pudendal fissure, Bartholin's glands, clitoris, and vaginal opening.
So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
Most (but not all) women are born with a hymen, which is usually an elliptical/oval ring around the vaginal opening (usually hollow to some extent, mostly in the center, similar to a "donut" shape). The remains of this membrane ring in adult women are known as the hymen, which appears as small, thin protrusions on the lining around the vaginal opening. When the hymen completely covers the vaginal opening, it is called the imperforate hymen. The imperforate hymen can be destroyed naturally during various types of physical activity (other than sexual intercourse).
