A

B
At the reduced tail end of birds
C
On either side of vagina in humans
D

Detailed Solution
Bartholin's glands (greater vestibular glands) are a pair of small glands in the human female, situated on either side of the vaginal opening.
They secrete a mucus-like fluid that lubricates the vagina, especially during sexual intercourse.
Their counterparts in males are the bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands, which are located near the urethra, not the vas deferens.
So Bartholin's glands are situated on either side of the vagina in humans.
