A
vas deferens
B
testicles
C
scrotum
D
prostate gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two testicles (or testes) produce sperm and the male sex hormone testosterone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The testes are 2 small organs that are found inside the scrotum. The testes are responsible for making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone. Testosterone is an important hormone during male development and maturation for developing muscles, deepening the voice, and growing body hair.

Detailed explanation-4: -Leydig cells are the primary source of testosterone or androgens in males. This physiology allows them to play a crucial role in many vital physiological processes in males, including sperm production or spermatogenesis, controlling sexual development, and maintaining secondary sexual characteristics and behaviors.

Detailed explanation-5: -The testes synthesize two important products: testosterone, needed for the development and maintenance of many physiological functions; and sperm, needed for male fertility.
