Solution

The correct option is B adenohypophysis
The hormone that induces ovulation is LH. Rapid secretion of LH is observed on the 14th day of the 28-day menstrual cycle.
LH surge causes the rupture of Graafian follicle and release of secondary oocyte.

LH is produced by the adenohypophysis, the anterior pituitary gland.
