• A. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i), D-(iv)
• B. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(iv)
• C. A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)
• D. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(iv), D-(i)

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i), D-(iv)

FSH is the follicle stimulating hormone which acts on the gonads i.e. ovaries in females and stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles.

MSH is the melanocyte stimulating hormone which acts on skin pigment cells and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.

Vasopressin is produced in the hypothalamus and is transported axonally to pars nervosa.

Pars intermedia is the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland which is almost merged in the anterior lobe of pituitary or pars distalis.

Thus, the correct answer is 'A-(iii), B- (ii), C- (i), D- (iv).'
