Solution

The correct option is B Oxytocin and Vasopressin
The neurosecretory cells (nuclei) of hypothalamus produce two hormones, vasopressin and oxytocin which are transported axonally to neurohypophysis. These two hormones are stored and released from neurohypophysis (pars nervosa or posterior pituitary).

Hence, option b is correct.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin are secreted from the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis). However, the secretion of these hormones is controlled by the various inhibiting and releasing hormones of hypothalamus.
