Which statement about the reproductive system is correct?

• A. It produces digestive enzymes
• B. It stores minerals
• C. It filters blood
• D. It is devoted to reproduction of offspring and is not necessary for survival

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the reproductive system exists to enable the production of offspring, not to sustain the individual’s day-to-day survival. You can live without being able to reproduce, but you rely on other systems for survival—digestion, blood filtration, and mineral storage all support life directly. Digestive enzymes are produced by the digestive organs, not the reproductive system. Minerals are stored and managed mainly by bones and other tissues, not the reproductive organs. Blood filtration is carried out by organs like the kidneys and liver, not the reproductive system. The reproductive system’s role is to reproduce and support offspring, making it not necessary for the individual’s survival but essential for species propagation.
