Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Epispadias is a congenital condition in which the urethra opens on the dorsum (upper side) of the penis, causing the penis to curve upward. Hypospadias is a similar condition in which the urethra opens on the ventral (lower side) of the penis. Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, and hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicle. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
