Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The average age that breast budding begins is 9.8 years, so this child is normal. The other responses are not relevant for this situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cryptorchidism is a condition in which the testes fail to descend, and if they are not surgically placed into the scrotum, infertility can result. The other questions are not related to this condition.
