it's for sure not C

OpenStudy (forevershorty):

it's D. Sperm need to stay at a lower temperature in order to thrive. Sperm that is regularly overheated will die off, causing a low sperm count. When a man’s body gets too hot, the testicles pull away from the body to protect the sperm. Anything that interferes with keeping the sperm at a lower temperature can result in causing a low sperm count.
