Correct Answer

Explanation

The prostate gland secretes a fluid that neutralizes the acidity of semen. This gland produces a large amount of fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen. The fluid is a milky white color and contains a variety of chemicals, including citrate, phosphate, lysozymes, fibrinolysin, and spermin. The secretions of the prostate gland both promote sperm production and prevent the coagulation of sperm.
