The reproductive organs that produce sperm and testosterone
A
prostate gland & seminal vesicle
B
testes or testicles
C
semen
D
None of the above
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: -Testes (or testicles)-these are a pair of egg-shaped glands that sit in the scrotum, on the outside of the body. They produce sperm and testosterone, which is the male sex hormone.

Detailed explanation-4: -As in women, gonadotropin releasing hormone, or GnRH, is released in a pulsatile fashion, stimulating the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH). In men, LH primarily stimulates testosterone production, while FSH stimulates the production of sperm.

Detailed explanation-5: -There is a system of tiny tubes in the testicles. These tubes, called the seminiferous tubules, house the germ cells that hormones-including testosterone, the male sex hormone-cause to turn into sperm. The germ cells divide and change until they resemble tadpoles with a head and short tail.
