Solution

The correct option is A Testis does not descend into scrotal sac
Undescended testis is technically called cryptorchidism. 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.
