Solution

The correct option is B Adenohypophysis
The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) contains five types of endocrine cell, and they are defined by the hormones they secrete: somatotropes (GH); prolactins (PRL); gonadotropes (LH and FSH); corticotropes (ACTH) and thyrotropes (TSH). Hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary are trophic hormones and tropic hormones.
