Solution

The correct option is C FSH
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is synthesized and secreted under the influence of GnRH on the anterior pituitary. It regulates the development, growth, maturation of ovarian follicle, pubertal maturation and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) act synergistically in reproduction. Under the influence of FSH ovary secretes estrogen. Thus the correct answer is option C.
