Select the correct explanation for the labels A, B, C and D

Assertion: Parturition is induced by neural signal in maternal pituitary.
Reason: At the end of gestation period, the maternal pituitary releases prolactin which causes uterine contractions.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
D.
If both assertion and reason are false.
The process of delivery of the foetus (childbirth) is called parturition. Parturition is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism. The signals for parturition originate from the fully developed foetus and the placenta which induce mild uterine contractions called foetal ejection reflex This triggers release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary. Oxytocin acts on the uterine muscles and causes stronger uterine contractions, which in turn stimulate further secretion of oxytocin. The stimulatory reflex between the uterine contractions and oxytocin secretion continues resulting in stronger and stronger contractions. This leads to expulsion of the baby out of the uterus through the birth canal.
Starting from the maximum, arrange the following male reproductive accessory organs in the correct order, based on the amount of secretion poured into urethra.
(i) Prostrate gland
(ii) Seminal vesicle
(iii) Bulbourethral gland
(i) > (ii) > (iii)
(iii) > (ii) > (i)
(ii) > (iii) > (i)
(ii) > (i) > (iii)
