Answer:B. It would not develop male genitals

Explanation:

Testosterone is the male sex hormone. It is an anabolic steroid. It is responsible for the development and maturation of internal genitalia in males. Internal genetalia includes the testes and prostate gland development which aids in production of sperms and seminal fluid.

Thus in the abscenece of testosterone the gonads will not develop internal genitals.
