Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research has shown that pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm, which means that conception can occur even if male orgasm has not been reached. This is why C is correct. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately describe findings from research on the sexual response cycle.
