Solution

The correct option is D Inhibin
Inhibin is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the Sertoli cells. It inhibits the release of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) secreted by the anterior pituitary.

FSH and LH are gonadotropins that are concerned with the growth and the activity of gonads.

Testosterone is a male sex hormone produced by the Leydig cells of testis.

GnRH is produced by hypothalamus at the time of onset of puberty.
