D) Labium minora, labium majora, clitoris

Answer 1

Hint: Human female reproductive system is made up of internal and external sex organs. They both altogether function in giving birth to new offspring.

Complete Answer:
- Female reproductive system in humans is a complex system. The sperm is received by a muscular organ called vagina. It travels through the cervix and reaches the fallopian tube. The ova releases an egg which also moves to the fallopian tube.
- The sperm and egg fertilisation takes place at the fallopian tube. The fertilised egg moves to the uterus. It implants itself to form an embryo. This embryo develops into foetus.
- The foetus undergoes gestation and forms a mature baby. The reproductive system comprises internal parts which include- uterus, fallopian tube and ovaries.
- The external genitals include Vulva consisting of labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and vaginal opening.

- Cervix connects vagina to the uterus. It is also called the mouth of the uterus.
- Oviduct- It is an internal organ. It is the tube through which the egg passes from the ovary.

Thus the correct answer is (D). The external genitals include labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris.

Note: The female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty. The area containing female genitals is called vulva. The female genitals enable sperm to enter the body and also protect the internal organs from infectious organisms.
