Solution
The correct option is B Oestrogen/Estrogen
Oestrogen/Estrogen is a female steroid hormone that is produced by the ovaries and in lesser amounts, by the adrenal cortex, placenta, and male testes. Estrogen helps control and guide sexual development, including the physical changes associated with puberty. It also influences the course of ovulation in the monthly menstrual cycle, lactation after pregnancy, aspects of mood, and the aging process. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
