Solution

The correct option is D Tunica albuginea
Testes is the primary sex organ in human males. The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called scortum. In adults, each testis is oval in shape, with a length of about 4 to 5 cm and width of about 2 to 3 cm. The testis is covered by a dense covering. They are enclosed in an outer tough capsule of collagenous connective tissue, the tunica albuginea. It is a protective layer.
