• C. The assertion is true but the reason is false.
• D. The assertion is false but the reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Assertion is true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

The scrotum hangs outside the body because it needs to maintain a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body. This lower temperature helps to maintain sperm production. Scrotal tissues help protect the structures inside the testicles, where sperm and important hormones are produced.
