D
to make you feel awkward
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, female and male reproductive systems work together to reproduce. There are two kinds of sex cells-sperm and eggs. When a sperm meets an egg, it can fertilize it and create a zygote. This zygote eventually becomes a fetus.

Detailed explanation-2: -To produce egg and sperm cells. To transport and sustain these cells. To nurture the developing offspring. To produce hormones.

Detailed explanation-3: -New life begins when an egg from a woman is fertilised by sperm from a man. Eggs (ova) are made in the ovaries, and sperm in the testicles. The ovaries and testicles (gonads) also make sex hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of the male reproductive system is to produce androgens such as testosterone that maintain male reproductive function and to promote spermatogenesis and transport into the female reproductive system for fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction is a biological process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms in a process that starts with meiosis, a specialized type of cell division. Each of two parent organisms contributes half of the offspring’s genetic makeup by creating haploid gametes.
