Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Oestrogen

Androgens are group of hormones that primarily influence the growth and development of the male reproductive system. The predominant and most active androgen is testosterone, which is produced by the male testes.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows the body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food. It is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels as part of metabolism.

Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

So, the answer is C.
