Solution

The correct option is B FSH and LH
FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are gonadotrophic hormones secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland stimulated by Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and LH stimulates ovulation (release of egg from mature follicle). Oestrogen is female sex hormone secreted from ovarian follicles. Hence, FSH and LH stimulates production of oestrogen.
So, the correct answer is 'FSH and LH'.
