Which gland secretes odourous secretion in mammals :
A Bartholin's
B Prostate
C Anal gland
D Liver – bile

Detailed Solution

Many mammals have anal (scent) glands near the anus that produce strong-smelling secretions, used for marking territory, communication and defence (e.g. the skunk and civet).
Bartholin's glands lubricate the vagina, the prostate secretes part of the seminal fluid, and the liver secretes bile.
So the anal gland secretes odourous secretion.
