Answer to Question 1

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

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.
