Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Exposure to both testosterone and estrogen during fetal development can partially masculinize the sexual anatomy at birth. This can result in the development of male-like genitalia, but the extent of masculinization can vary. The individual may have ambiguous genitalia or have a mix of male and female genitalia. It is important to note that gender identity is not necessarily determined by genitalia or biological sex characteristics.
