• B. Non development of testes
• C. Removal of scrotum
• D. Breaking connection of vas deferens.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Non descent of testes in scrotum

• Testes are located in the scrotum in males.
• Usually, during the 7${}^{th}$ month of pregnancy, testes descend into the scrotum from the abdomen. However, in some conditions, this descent does not take place and this condition is known as cryptorchidism.
  
• Non development of testes is known as testis agenesis.
• Removal of the scrotum is known as orchiectomy.
  
• Breaking connection of vas deferens is known as vasectomy.
  
• So, the correct option is 'Non descent of testes in scrotum'.
