Solution

The correct option is B Testes
Androgens are a group of hormones, that primarily influence the growth and development of the male reproductive system. The predominant and most active androgen is testosterone, which is produced by the male testes. The other androgens, which support the functions of testosterone, are produced mainly by the adrenal cortex, the outer portion of the adrenal glands and only in relatively small quantities.
