Solution

The correct option is A

LH


Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in the male, induces the interstitial cells of the testes to produce male sex hormones called androgens such as testosterone. In the female, the luteinising hormone causes ovulation, secretion of female sex hormone, estrogen from the maturing ovarian follicle, and progesterone by the corpus luteum.

Testosterone makes the male genital system to become full grown and functional. Thyroxine promotes growth of body tissues. MSH stimulates synthesis of melanin in the skin.
