Solution

The correct option is B By promoting the Sertoli cells to release the ABP and inhibin
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. It is the process of sperm production. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) plays an important role in the spermatogenesis. FSH stimulates the spermatogenesis by promoting the sertoli cells to release androgen binding protein (ABP) and inhibin. It also forms the blood-testis barrier.
Thus, the correct answer is 'By promoting the Sertoli cells to release the ABP and inhibin.'
