Solution

The correct option is A Unable to descend in scrotal sacs.
During embryonic life, the testes develop within the abdominal cavity, but descend into the scrotum prior to birth. If they fail to do this and the condition is not corrected, infertility is likely to follow and the risk of testicular cancer is increased. Undescended testis is a condition called as cryptorchidism.
