Solution

The correct option is D Sustentacular cells
Inhibin is secreted by the sustentacular (Sertoli) cell of testes. Its major action is the negative feedback control of pituitary FSH secretion i.e., control of spermatogenesis. Androgens stimulate inhibin production and hence regulate spermatogenesis. Thus the correct answer is option D.
