Solution

The correct option is A FSH

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secreated by the pituitary gland regulates the Sertoli cells of testicles.
Where as luteinizing hormone (LH) secreated by the pituitary gland regulates the Leydig cells of testicles.
Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin or luteotropic hormone (LTH) secreated by the pituitary gland stimulates growth by stimulating protein synthesis and stimulates the growth of the mammary glands, lactation and maintenance of corpus luteum, respectively.
