Solution

The correct option is B Hypophyses
Atrophy can be defined as the physiological process involving the reabsorption or gradual degradation of an organ or tissues via apoptosis. It could have various physical, chemical or physiological reasons attached. The atrophy of gonads results from the removal of hypophysis or hypophysectomy.

So, the correct answer is 'Hypophyses'.
