• B.

  	Endocrine gland	Hormone	Function/deficiency symptoms
  (2)	Posterior pituitary	Growth Hormone (GH)	Oversecretion stimulates abnormal growth

• C.

  	Endocrine gland	Hormone	Function/deficiency symptoms
  (3)	Thyroid gland	Thyroxine	Lack of iodine in diet results in goitre

  (4)	Corpus luteum	Testosterone	stimulates spermatogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is C

	Endocrine gland	Hormone	Function/deficiency symptoms
(3)	Thyroid gland	Thyroxine	Lack of iodine in diet results in goitre

The corrected form of the given options are:

A) Endocrine gland- Posterior pituitary, Hormone- Oxytocin, Function/deficiency symptoms- stimulate uterus contraction during childbirth.

B) Endocrine gland- Anterior pituitary, Hormone- Growth hormone(GH), Function/deficiency symptoms- Oversecretion stimulates abnormal growth(gigantism)

C)Endocrine gland- Thyroid gland, Hormone- Thyroxine, Function/deficiency symptoms- Lack of iodine in diet results in goitre.

D)Endocrine gland-Testis, Hormone- Testosterone, Function/deficiency symptoms- stimulate spermatogenesis.

So, the correct answer is 'Option (C)
Endocrine gland- Thyroid gland, Hormone- Thyroxine, Function/deficiency symptoms- Lack of iodine in diet results in goitre'.
