The correct option is A Prolactin
Prolactin, often called the 'mothering' hormone, is secreted in the anterior pituitary. During pregnancy prolactin is essential for complete lobular development in the breast. Prolactin (PRL), also known as luteotropic hormone or luteotropin, is a protein, that enables female mammals to produce milk.
