Solution

The correct option is C
Darkening of skin in some pregnant women

The intermediate lobe of the pituitary (also called pars intermedia) produces MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone which acts on melanocytes or pigment-producing cells responsible for the colour of our skin. MSH can bring about the darkening of skin in some pregnant women.
