Solution

The correct option is C Oxytocin
Oxytocin is secreted from the posterior pituitary and helps in the contraction of uterus during childbirth and also stimulates release of milk from mammary glands i.e. lactation. It is normally produced by the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. So, the correct answer is 'Oxytocin'.
