Answer 1

The correct option is C There is fluid accumulation within the tunica albuginea

Hydrocele manifests as enlargement of the testes due to an accumulation of fluid within the inner covering of the testis, the tunica albuginea, or in the spermatic cord. The most common cause is due to defective absorption of lymphatic fluid by degenerating lymphatic vessels.
