Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Regulating body temperature of the testes:Correct -the scrotum suspends the testes and adjusts their position to keep testicular temperature slightly below core body temperature, which is necessary for optimal sperm production.
B. Storing urine:Incorrect -urine is stored in the urinary bladder, not in the scrotum.
C. Producing sperm: Incorrect -sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules inside the testes; the scrotum is a protective/powerful thermoregulatory sac, not the sperm-producing tissue.
