• C. Parathyroid, ovary
• D. Pituitary, testes

Answer 1

The correct option is B Testes, ovary

Testes in animals are the organs that produce sperm, the male reproductive cell and androgens, the male hormones. In humans, the testes occur as a pair of oval-shaped organs. They are contained within the scrotal sac, which is located directly behind the penis and in front of the anus.The testes are responsible for the production of sperm cells and the male sex hormone testosterone.

The ovaries are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs (ova) and female hormones.
