a gland that secretes hormones involved in sexual arousal
narrow part of the penis and is not sensitive to touch
rounded tip of the penis is highly sensitive to touch
the tube that carries urine out of the body
the base of the penis and is not involved in sexual stimulation

Explanation:

The glans is the rounded tip of the penis. It has a high concentration of nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to touch. This sensitivity plays a crucial role in sexual stimulation.

• Option 1: The glans is not a gland that secretes hormones. Hormones related to sexual arousal are mainly secreted by glands like the testes (in males) which produce testosterone.
• Option 2: The glans is not a narrow part and is very sensitive, not insensitive.
• Option 4: The tube that carries urine out of the body is the urethra, not the glans.
• Option 5: The glans is at the tip, not the base of the penis, and is very much involved in sexual stimulation.

Answer:

C. Rounded tip of the penis is highly sensitive to touch
