Solution

The correct option is B FSH
Sertoli cells which result in the production of Androgen binding protein (ABP) are matured by the effect of FSH(Follicular Stimulating Hormone) released from ANterior pituitary under the action of GnRH released from the hypothalamus. The growth of Sertoli cells produces negative feedback on the secretion of GnRH thus maintaining the growth and maturation of Sertoli cells.
So, the correct answer is 'FSH'.
