Solution

The correct option is D Intermediate lobe of pituitary
In vertebrates, the pituitary gland is an endocrine gland which is about the size of a pea. The intermediate lobe synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). It stimulates the production and release of melanin by melanocytes in skin and hair. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
