Solution

The correct option is A Enlarges
In boys, testicular enlargement is the first physical manifestation of puberty. Testes in prepubertal boys change little in size from about 1 year of age to the onset of puberty, averaging about 2-3 cm. in length and about 1.5-2 cm. in width. The testes have two primary functions: to produce hormones and to produce the sperms.
