Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Mons pubis is a cushion of fatty tissue that is covered by skin and pubic hair and more prominent in female. It provides cushioning during sexual intercourse. The labia majora are fleshy folds of tissue, which extend down from the mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening only. The labia minora form the two small folds of skin of the vulva. It lacks fatty tissue. The opening of the vagina is often covered partially by a membrane called hymen. The presence or absence of hymen is NOT a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience. Hymen is a very thin membrane that can be broken by exersion caused due to heavy exercise. The clitoris lies at the upper junction of two labia minora above the urethral opening. It is an erectile structure homologous to the male penis.
