Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The tips of the corpora cavernosa form the crura at the root of the penis, which are anchored by muscle to the pubic bone. The frenulum is a fold of skin on the underside of the penis that connects to the glans. The prepuce, also known as the foreskin, is a retractable fold of skin covering the glans in uncircumcised males. The corona is the ridge around the base of the glans.
