number 1 is C because testosterone is the hormone that gives males their distinctive characteristics such as a low body fat percentage, a deep voice, and facial hair.

Is anyone able to answer the other questions in this post? I'm almost positive that men would develop breasts if exposed to estrogen mimicking chemicals, but in the source that the question lists, it says male fish could and have developed the ability to produce eggs. Would that then gives males the 'ability' to develop ovaries?!

Thanks,

Nate
