Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
While all the options in this question relate to sexual health, only "erectile dysfunction" is a precise and accurate term for impotency. Sterility implies an inability to reproduce while impotency refers to difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. Frigidity is a term used to describe a lack of sexual desire in women. Sexual psychosis is an outdated term and is not used in modern healthcare. Refractory period refers to the period of time after a man ejaculates during which he is unable to achieve an erection.
