Solution

The correct option is A FSH
  • FSH or follicle stimulating hormone is a pituitary hormone.
  • It induces oogenesis in females by inducing development of Graafian follicle from the primordial follicle.
  • In males, it induces spermatogenesis by inducing primary spermatocytes to undergo the first division of meiosis, to form secondary spermatocytes.
So, the correct option is 'FSH'.
