Which of the following is a normal age-related change for the male reproductive system?

  1. Increased production of testosterone

  2. Number and capability of sperm decreases

  3. Development of new reproductive organs

  4. Enhancement of libido

The correct answer is: Number and capability of sperm decreases

One normal age-related change for the male reproductive system is the decrease in both the number and capability of the sperm. This is due to the natural decline in testosterone production as men age, which can lead to a decrease in sperm production and quality. While testosterone production may initially increase in older men, it typically levels off and can even decrease over time. Option A is incorrect because increased testosterone production is not a normal age-related change. Option C is incorrect because no new reproductive organs develop in males as they age. Option D is incorrect because while libido may fluctuate in older men, it is not necessarily enhanced.
