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.
