Solution

The correct option is A Luteinizing Hormone
Leutenizing hormone or LH is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It stimulates the ovaries to produce oestrogen and progesterone. It triggers ovulation, which is the release of a mature ovum from the ovary and it promotes the development of corpus luteum by rupture of Graafian follicle.
Thus, the correct answer is A.
