Solution

The correct option is B Prolactin hormone from pituitary gland
The pigeon is one of only three bird species known to produce milk (crop milk) to feed their young ones. The pigeon's milk is the sloughed-off lining of the crop, and the production of it is stimulated by the hormone prolactin which is secreted by the pituitary gland.
