Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Depo-Provera is a medication that reduces the production of testosterone in males and, as a result, can significantly reduce sexual desire and aggression in male sex offenders. Testosterone (A) and Viagra (B) are not effective in reducing sexual desire in male sex offenders, and estrogen (C) is not typically given to male sex offenders.
