• B. LH is produced only in males.
• C. FSH and LH are produced both in males and females.
• D. FSH and LH are produced under the influence of oxytocin hormone.

Answer 1

The correct option is C FSH and LH are produced both in males and females.

The hypothalamus secretes the hormone, GnRH.

GnRH (Gonadotropin releasing hormone) stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release the gonadotropins.

FSH and LH are gonadotropins as they are concerned with the growth and activity of gonads.

FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are produced both in males and females.
