Solution

The correct option is C A-Adenohypophysis, B-Neurohypophysis, C-Pars distalis, D-Pars intermedia
The pituitary gland is anatomically divided into Adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. Adenohypophysis is divided into two lobes, namely anterior pars distalis and posterior pars intermedia. Neurohypophysis do not produce any hormone but stores and release hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin produced by the hypothalamus.
Thus, the correct option is 'A- Adenohypophysis, B- Neurohypophysis, C-Pars distalis, D-Pars intermedia.'
