Solution

The correct option is D FSH
Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis where the spermatids need to mature into motile sperm cells (spermatozoa). The main hormones which regulate spermatogenesis are testosterone and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and the Sertoli cells possess receptors for both these hormones. Thus, the Sertoli cells, which nurse the sperm cells in the testes mature when the FSH secreted by the anterior pituitary binds to its receptors.
So, the correct answer is 'FSH'.
