Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
(A) Mons pubis — this matches (III) Cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair. It is the soft pad above the opening of the genitalia. Its fat cushions the pubic bone.
(B) Labia majora — this matches (IV) Fleshy folds of tissue. They extend down from the mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening. They are the outer folds, and the thinner labia minora lie inside them.
(C) Hymen — this matches (II) Opening of the vagina covered partially by membrane. It is a thin membrane across the vaginal opening. It can be torn by a sudden fall or jolt, or by some sports.
(D) Clitoris — this matches (I) Tiny finger-like structure above the urethra opening. It lies at the upper joining of the two labia minora, above the urethral opening.
NCERT Extract:
The Female Reproductive System – “… The female external genitalia include mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen and clitoris (Figure 2.3a). Mons pubis is a cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair. The labia majora are fleshy folds of tissue, which extend down from the mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening. The labia minora are paired folds of tissue under the labia majora. The opening of the vagina is often covered partially by a membrane called hymen. The clitoris is a tiny finger-like structure which lies at the upper junction of the two labia minora above the urethral opening.”
