Question

Name the hormone which stimulates development of male secondary sexual characteristics.

• A. Testosterone
• B. Progesterone
• C. Oestrogen
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Testosterone

• Testosterone is a 'male hormone' produced by the testes that encourage the development of male sexual characteristics, stimulates the activity of the male secondary sex characteristics and prevents changes in them following castration.
• Testosterone is the most potent of the naturally occurring androgens. The androgens cause the development of male sex characteristics, such as a deep voice and a beard.
• They also strengthen muscle tone and bone mass.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
