The answer is (D): gamete.

Explanation for each option:

(A) Semen: This is incorrect. Semen is the fluid that contains sperm cells and is ejaculated from the male reproductive system. It is not a reproductive cell itself.

(B) Androgens: This is incorrect. Androgens are a group of hormones, such as testosterone, that play a role in male traits and reproductive activity. They are not reproductive cells.

(C) Testosterone: This is incorrect. Testosterone is a hormone that is important for the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. It is not a reproductive cell.

(D) Gamete: This is correct. A gamete is a male or female reproductive cell. In males, the gamete is the sperm cell, and in females, it is the egg cell (or ovum).

In summary, the correct term for a male or female reproductive cell is "gamete."
