Solution

The correct option is A Sertoli cells
There are sertoli cells in the testes which secrete the hormone inhibin. This is a peptide hormone. This hormone is involved in the negative feedback mechanisms of the gonadotropin hormones. The hormone is produced in males when the sperm count is very high. This hormone inhibits the secretion of the follicle-stimulating hormone.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
