Explanation
The clitoris is an outgrowth that is homologous to the penis (Option D).
The clitoris and the penis develop from the same embryonic tissue and share many structural and functional similarities. Both contain erectile tissue, are sensitive to sexual stimulation, and play a role in sexual arousal and orgasm. However, they differ in size, location, and function. The clitoris is typically smaller and located inside the female body, while the penis is larger and located outside the male body. Additionally, the penis is used for urination and ejaculation, while the clitoris has no known function outside of sexual arousal and orgasm.
Option A (Non-functional penis) is not a valid description of the clitoris, as it is not a penis and has its own unique structure and function.
Option B (Analogous to penis) is not entirely accurate, as the clitoris and penis are not just analogous, but homologous structures, meaning they share a common evolutionary origin.
Option C (Functional penis in females) is not accurate, as the clitoris has a different structure and function compared to the penis, and does not serve any known functions outside of sexual arousal and orgasm.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D (Homologous to penis).
