Solution

The correct option is C Sperm production needs lower temperature.
The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are the male sex glands. The testicles produce sperm and testosterone. The testicles are located outside the body because sperms develop best at a temperature few degrees cooler than normal internal body temperature.
