Solution

The correct option is B Stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens
Gonadotropin releasing hormone(GnRH), stimulates the anterior lobe of pituitary gland(adenohypophysis) to secrete two gonadotropins, FSH and LH. In males LH stimulates the Leydig's cells of the testis to secrete androgens.
