Solution

The correct option is B VIP
VIP in the pituitary helps to regulate prolactin secretion; it stimulates prolactin release in the domestic turkey. Additionally, the growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) is a member of the VIP family and stimulates growth hormone secretion in the anterior pituitary gland. Hence, VIP regulates the secretion of prolactin in turkey.
So, the correct answer is 'VIP'.
