Solution

The correct option is D Anterior lobe of pituitary gland
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein and gonadotropin secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) released by the hypothalamus. It helps in the development of follicles in female and triggers Sertoli cells to initiate spermatogenesis in the male.
So, the correct answer is option D.
