Vedclass · Answer

(C) The $Clitoris$ is a female reproductive organ that is homologous to the $penis$ in males,meaning they share a common embryonic origin. However,the $Clitoris$ is not a 'remnant' of the $penis$; rather,both develop from the same genital tubercle. The Assertion is correct because the $Clitoris$ is a distinct organ,not a vestigial or remnant structure of the male $penis$. The Reason is also correct because the $Clitoris$ is composed of erectile tissue and possesses a rich blood supply,similar to the $penis$,which allows it to become engorged during sexual arousal. Therefore,both statements are correct,but the Reason does not explain why the $Clitoris$ is not a remnant of the $penis$.
