C Correct answer
Explanation

Androgens (such as testosterone) are primarily secreted by the testes in males. While the adrenal cortex does produce small amounts of androgens, the testes are the main source. The ovaries produce small amounts of androgens as precursors to estrogen, and the parathyroid secretes parathyroid hormone, not androgens. Therefore, the testis is the correct answer as the primary androgen-secreting gland.
