Answer to Question 1

B
An obstructed ureter will cause urinary reflux into the renal pelvis, causing hydronephrosis and, ultimately, destruction of the kidney.

Answer to Question 2

C
The heat from close body contact from wearing jockey shorts reduces spermatogenesis. Sexual intercourse will not increase testosterone levels. Heat will reduce sperm count, not increase it.
