Solution
The correct option is A Thyroxine
Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone which targets all tissues and stimulates metabolic rate, growth and development. GH is the growth hormone, secreted by the anterior pituitary, which targets soft tissues and bones and serves to stimulate cell division, protein synthesis and bone growth. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is secreted by anterior pituitary which targets the adrenal cortex to stimulate secretion of corticoids and sex hormones. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is one of the gonadotropins secreted by anterior pituitary; FSH promotes spermatogenesis in seminiferous tubules of male and follicle development in females. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
