Solution

The correct option is B hypothalamus, FSH and LH

GnRH (Gonadotropin releasing hormone) is secreted by the hypothalamus and it stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release the gonadotropins. FSH and LH are gonadotropins that are concerned with the growth and activity of gonads.

FSH plays a vital role in the development of ovarian follicles.

LH induces ovulation and development of corpus luteum.

Vasopressin and oxytocin are stored and released by the posterior pituitary.
