The answer is the last one: sperm production.

Explanation for each option:

  • Egg production: This is incorrect. Egg production occurs in the ovaries of females, not in the testes of males.

  • Estrogen production: This is incorrect. Estrogen is primarily produced in the ovaries in females. In males, the testes produce testosterone, not estrogen.

  • Testosterone production: This is incorrect. While the testes do produce testosterone, this process is primarily stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH), not follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

  • Sperm production: This is correct. In the testes, FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells, which play a crucial role in the process of spermatogenesis, or sperm production.

In summary, FSH in the testes is responsible for stimulating sperm production.
