Solution

The correct option is D male sex hormones
Androgens are male sex hormones. The main androgen is testosterone, and an additional androgen is dihydrotestosterone. Testosterone is secreted mainly by the testes, but also a little bit by the adrenal cortex. In some tissues, testosterone is chemically changed into dihydrotestosterone in order to have an effect.
