Solution
The correct option is D Prolactin
Prolactin is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It's also known as PRL or lactogenic hormone. Milk production, or lactation, occurs in the alveoli of mammary
glands when they are stimulated by prolactin. Prolactin is important for both male and female reproductive health. The specific function of prolactin in men is not well-known.
