Solution

The correct option is B Sertoli cells
FSH is released from anterior pituitary. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) acts on Sertoli cells of testis and this stimulates the release of factors that help in the process of spermiogenesis.

LH from anterior pituitary acts on Leydig cells.

Male germ cells undergo division to produce sperms.
