Answer:

the answer would be D

Step-by-step explanation:

The scrotum hangs outside the body because it needs to maintain a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body.

I think the answer is D because sperm is best developed and made when the temperature is cooler then the body’s temperature, and with this reason the scrotum hangs outside of the body.
