Solution

The correct options are
B In the scrotum in adult males
C In the abdominal cavity till seven months of pregnancy

The testis begins to form just before the second foetal month and starts to look like a testicle around the fourth foetal month. It remains in the abdominal cavity till the seventh foetal month. It descends to the scrotum in the eighth foetal month. Scrotum is a paired sac that holds the testes and epididymis outside the abdominal cavity. Its function is to allow the production of storage of spermatozoa to occur at a lower temperature than that of the abdomen.
