Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for sexual arousal and development of secondary sex characteristics. As Juan is a male and experiencing an increase in sexual arousal, it is likely due to an increase in testosterone. Estrogen is the female sex hormone and would not cause an increase in sexual arousal in males.
