The correct option is D

All the above


Thyroid hormone is secreted by thyroid gland under the influence of Thyroid Secreting Hormone (TSH). TSH is produced by the pituitary, which in turn, is secreted under the influence of TSH-releasing hormone (TSH-RH) from the hypothalamus. Therefore, excess secretion of any of these can cause hyperthyroidism.
