Solution

The correct option is B Pituitary gland
The production of testosterone is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. When the testosterone levels are low, the hypothalamus releases the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH by the feedback mechanism. These two hormones stimulate the testis to synthesize testosterone.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
