in the scrotum
B
in the bladder
C
in the abdomen
D
in the thoracic cavity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The testis resides in the abdomen near the internal ring until descent through the inguinal canal occurs at the beginning of the third trimester. An important player in testicular descent is the gubernaculum testis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The testes are 2 small organs that are found inside the scrotum. The testes make sperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -During pregnancy, a male baby’s testicles develop in his abdominal cavity. In most cases, they drop into the scrotum before birth. Testicles that don’t drop (called undescended testicles) may require surgery.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is the pouch of serous membrane that covers the testes. It is derived from the vaginal process of the peritoneum, which in the fetus precedes the descent of the testes from the abdomen into the scrotum, therefore, it has an abdominal origin.
