Solution

The correct option is D Testosterone

B. Gonadotrophic hormone or gonadotropins stimulate the development of gonads, testis in males and ovaries in females. Gonadotropins include two hormones, Luteinizing hormone and Follicle stimulating hormone.
C. FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and seminiferous tubules in males.
