Solution

The correct option is C Ovulation and maintenance of corpus luteum
GnRH of hypothalamus stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the two gonadotropin hormones, namely luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH is responsible for the ovulation. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicle and growth of eggs in the ovaries. It is also responsible for the pubertal development. Corpus luteum is formed and maintained by the LH.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Ovulation and maintenance of corpus luteum.'
