Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Seminal fluid is a viscous fluid which contributes about 60% of total volume of semen. It consists of fructose, fibrinogen and prostaglandins. Fructose provides energy to sperms for swimming. The prostaglandins stimulate contractions in the female reproductive tract to help the process of fertilisation. Fibrinogen helps in coagulation of semen after ejaculation.
