Solution

The correct option is D p-4, q-3, r-2, s-1
Insulin and glucagon are produced by the pancreas. The pancreas contains 1 to 2 million islets of Langerhans. There are two main types of cells in the islet of Langerhans, called α-cells and β-cells. The α-cells secrete a hormone called glucagon, while the β-cells secrete insulin.

In females, after ovulation, the ruptured ovarian follicle is converted to a structure called the corpus luteum, which mainly secretes a hormone called progesterone.

In males, the Leydig cells or interstitial cells, which are present in the intertubular spaces in the testes, produce a group of hormones called androgens, mainly testosterone.
