Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prostate gland in older men can lead to the enlargement of the gland, called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which can cause compression of the urethra and thereby obstruct the flow of urine. This can result in symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Therefore, the correct answer is B) urethra.
