Solution

The correct option is B OT, PRL and FSH
  • Oxytocin is secreted from the posterior pituitary and helps in the contraction of uterus during childbirth and also stimulates release of milk from mammary glands i.e. lactation.
  • Prolactin, also known as lactogenic hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormones stimulates the production of milk in mammary glands during pregnancy.
  • Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and seminiferous tubules in males.
So, the correct answer is 'OT, PRL and FSH'.
