Solution
The correct option is D FSH Sertoli cell is a 'nurse' cell and is a part of the seminiferous tubule of testis. It is activated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and it has FSH-receptor on its membranes. Prolactin is the hormone which is responsible for production of milk in female mammals. LH (luteinizing hormone) triggers ovulation and stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone. GH (growth hormone) is the hormone responsible for growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
