• A. Azoospermia
• B. Oligospermia
• C. Destruction in motility of sperm
• D. Both A and B
  

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and B

Cryptorchidism is the condition in which there is absence of one or both testes in the scrotum. It is also called as undescended testicle. In this, the testes are not passed down into the scrotal sac. The consequences of it includes azoospermia as undescended testicles will not produce sperm. If there is only undescended testicle, it will result in reduced sperm count, oligospermia.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Both (a) and (b).'
