Solution

The correct option is C Estrogen
Estrogen also referred to as female sex hormone, is produced mainly in the ovaries. At the onset of puberty, estrogen plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics. It also regulates the menstrual cycle, controlling the growth of the uterine lining during the first part of the cycle. Thus the correct answer is option C.
