A. Less than 20 million/µL

B. More than 20 million/mL

C. Less than 20 million/mL

D. More than 20 million/µL

Step 1 of 2

Sperm concentration:

Sperm concentration is the actual count of sperms available in a semen specimen.

• The sperm concentration is considered as normal when it contains more than 20 to 250 million sperms per milliliter (mL) of semen.

• The sperm concentration is considered as border line when it contains the range of 10 to 20 million sperms per milliliter (mL) of semen.

• The sperm concentration is considered as low when it contains less than 10 million sperms per milliliter (mL) of semen.

Therefore, the normal sperm concentration is “more than 20million/mL”. Hence, the correct answer is option.
