When the outside temperature is too cold for the testicles, the body typically retracts the scrotum to bring the testicles closer to the body. This is a natural response of the body's thermoregulatory system to maintain the optimal temperature for the testes. The contraction of the cremaster muscle in the scrotum pulls the testes upward, reducing the surface area exposed to the cold air and bringing them closer to the warmth of the body. This helps to maintain the optimal temperature required for sperm production and survival.

(Therefore, the correct answer is A.)
