Solution

The correct option is A FSH
At puberty, the hypothalamus begins to secrete gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete the gonadotropic hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Both FSH and LH are glycoproteins that use cyclic AMP as a second messenger. FSH stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete androgen-binding protein (ABP) and other signaling molecules that are necessary for spermatogenesis. LH stimulates the interstitial cells to secrete testosterone.
So, the correct answer is option A.
