Solution

The correct option is A Testosterone
Secondary sexual characteristics are the physical changes which develop at puberty and help in distinguishing between boys and girls. Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for masculine secondary sexual characteristics as well as the promotion of muscle growth.
Estrogen and progesterone are the female sex hormones.
Oxytocin stimulates contractions of the reproductive tract aiding sperm release.
So the answer is 'Testosterone'.
