Solution

The correct option is C

Testosterone


In males, testosterone hormone is produced by the testes. Testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate. They are also responsible for the development of secondary sexual characters such as the growth of facial/ pubic/ body hair, deepening of the voice, increased muscle or bone mass. Testosterone is absolutely vital for sperm production.
