Solution
The correct option is C TRH
The hypothalamus is the basal part of the diencephalon, forebrain.
When a young child's body temperature drops, the hypothalamus produces TRH( thyrotropin-releasing hormone)hormone.
Thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates TSH(Thyroid stimulating hormone) from the pituitary, which stimulates thyroid hormone release from the thyroid gland.
Thyroid hormone causes an increase in BMR(Basal metabolic cate) and increases in BMR results in an increase in body temperature to normal.
Hence When a young child's body temperature drops, the hypothalamus produces TRH( thyrotropin-releasing hormone)hormone.
