B Fructose and calcium
C Glucose and calcium
D DNA and testosterone

Detailed Solution

The male accessory glands are the paired seminal vesicles, the prostate and the paired bulbourethral glands.
Their secretions together constitute the seminal plasma, which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes.
Fructose, from the seminal vesicles, is the source of energy for the sperms.
The secretions of the bulbourethral glands also help in the lubrication of the penis.
Hence seminal plasma is rich in fructose and calcium.
