Testicular cancer commonly occurs in men between ages 20 and 30. A male client should be taught how to perform testicular self-examination before age 20, preferably when he enters his teens.

Option A: Sexual activity is not an accurate indicator of when to start testicular exams.

Option B: The age of 69 would be too old to start on testicular exams. Most elderly men may have testicular problems at this age.

Option C: The age of 40 is not an ideal age to start the testicular exams. It might be too late to detect a problem at this stage.
