Transcript text: The male urethra carries the:

(B) urine and feces.
(C) urine and semen.
(D) semen and lymph fluid.
Solution
The answer is (C): urine and semen.
Explanation for each option:
(A) sperms and feces: This is incorrect. The male urethra does not carry feces; feces are expelled through the rectum and anus.
(B) urine and feces: This is incorrect. Feces are not carried by the urethra; they are expelled through the digestive tract.
(C) urine and semen: This is correct. The male urethra serves a dual function by carrying urine from the bladder and semen from the reproductive system out of the body.
(D) semen and lymph fluid: This is incorrect. The urethra does not carry lymph fluid; lymph fluid is part of the lymphatic system and is not expelled through the urethra.
In summary, the male urethra carries both urine and semen.
