Solution

The correct option is D FSH
  • Spermiogenesis is the process which involves the maturation of spermatid into motile spermatozoa.
  • FSH stimulates both the production of androgen-binding protein (ABP) by Sertoli cells and is critical for the initiation of spermatogenesis.
  • Hence FSH plays an important role in spermiogenesis.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option D.
