A 20-year-old man comes to A&E complaining of excruciating

left testicular pain. The pain started suddenly about 30 minutes ago. On

clinical examination, the left region of the scrotum is retracted.  There is redness over the area, and palpation

is impossible due to exacerbated tenderness. The urologist suspects this

is a case of testicular torsion, and urgent treatment is required to maintain

the blood supply to the testicle.

Which of the following branch arteries of the

abdominal aorta provides blood supply to the testicle?
