Solution

The correct option is B Sperm production needs lower temperature.
Testes are situated outside the body wall (or abdominal cavity) within a pouch called the scrotum. The scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes. It is generally 22.5°C lower than the normal body temperature, which is required for sperm production.
