Solution

The correct option is D Luteinizing Hormone
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted by the anterior part of the pituitary. The main function of the hormone is to inhibit the secretion of FSH. The hormone causes release of the ovum from the mature Graafian follicle on the 14 $^{t h}$ day of menstrual cycle. This process is known as ovulation.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
