- D. Regulates blood glucose levels
Answer
The correct answer is Stimulates sperm production.
Explanation
The correct answer is Stimulates sperm production. This supports the approved learning objective: Explain that testosterone stimulates sperm production and controls male secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. It belongs to Hormones in human reproduction within Hormonal coordination in humans, so the explanation must stay inside that curriculum boundary. The other options are less suitable because Stimulates egg production, Inhibits growth of body hair, Regulates blood glucose levels either change the scope, miss the process, or do not match Hormones in human reproduction.

Common mistake
Misunderstanding Testosterone's Role
Students often confuse the role of testosterone solely with sperm production, neglecting its influence on male secondary sexual characteristics.
Emphasize that testosterone not only stimulates sperm production but also plays a crucial role in developing male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty.
