Solution
The correct option is A Pituitary The pituitary gland is called the master gland because it produces hormones that control other gland and many body functions including growth. It secretes inhibiting factor and releasing factor which regulates the other glands. The inhibiting hormone produced by pituitary inhibits the hormonal secretion while releasing factor initiates the hormonal secretion of other glands.
