The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the organ that meets the following criteria: 1. **Oval in shape**: The organ should have an oval shape. 2. **Dense covering**: It should have a dense outer covering. 3. **Lies in an extra-abdominal pouch**: The organ must be located outside the abdominal cavity. 4. **Lower temperature than the body**: The organ should maintain a temperature that is 2 to 1.5 degrees Celsius lower than the normal body temperature. Now, let's analyze the options provided: ### Step 1: Analyze Each Option - **(a) Ovary**: The ovary is not oval in shape, and it is located within the abdominal cavity, not in an extra-abdominal pouch. - **(b) Eyeball**: The eyeball is round, not oval, and is located within the skull, not in an extra-abdominal pouch. - **(c) Testis**: The testis is oval in shape, has a dense covering (the tunica albuginea), and is located in the scrotum, which is an extra-abdominal pouch. The temperature in the scrotum is indeed lower than the body temperature, typically around 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius lower, which is essential for spermatogenesis. - **(d) Epididymis**: The epididymis is not oval; it is a coiled structure attached to the testis and is also located within the scrotum. ### Step 2: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The only organ that fits all the criteria is **(c) Testis**. ### Final Answer (c) Testis ---
