Solution

The correct option is C Gubernaculum
In mammals in the embryonic stage, the testis is posteriorly connected to the scrotal sac by an elastic cord called as gubernaculum. It helps in the descent of testis during the 7th month of pregnancy. So the correct answer is C.
The spermatic cord in males is formed by the vas deferens and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle.
