Correct Answer:

Mammary gland.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4)- Mammary gland.

Mammary glands are not male accessory glands. They are specialized for milk production and are present in both males and females, but they are typically more developed in females for breastfeeding purposes.

The male reproductive system is located in the pelvis region . It includes a pair of testes alongwith accessory ducts, glands and the external genitalia. The penis is the male external genitalia. It is made up of special tissue that helps in erection of the penis to facilitate insemination. The enlarged end of penis called the glans penis is covered by a loose fold of skin called foreskin. The male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral glands. Secretions of these glands constitute the seminal plasma which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes. The secretions of bulbourethral glands also helps in the lubrication of the penis.
