Solution

The correct option is A Lower than
The process of spermatogenesis or the formation of sperm requires a lower temperature (1-8 degrees C lower) than the normal body temperature to produce viable sperms. The scrotum is placed outside the body, which contains testes, keeping them at a lower temperature than core body temperature.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
