Solution

The correct option is D Posterior pituitary: LH
LH i.e. luteinizing hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary. In males, this hormone stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens from testis and regulate spermatogenesis. In females, it induces ovulation and maintains corpus luteum. All the other hormones are correctly matched with their organ of synthesis.
Hence, 'Posterior pituitary: LH' is the correct option.
