Accepted Answer

Orchitis and epididymitis are commonly seen as a complication of mumps, a viral infection that is most commonly seen in young adults. The virus can spread through respiratory secretions and can also cause swelling in the salivary glands. The other options (croup, influenza, measles, rubella) are not typically associated with orchitis and epididymitis.
