Answer #1

Answer is Option b. Anterior Pituitary.

Explanation: Anterior pituitary secretes FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Lutenizing Hormone) apart from Growth Hormone (GH), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), Prolactin. Hence, the correct answer is Option b.

Adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and s_ex steroids. Hence, option a is incorrect

Thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and tetraiodothyronine. Hence, option c is incorrect

Posterior pituitary secretes Antidiuretic Hormone or Vasopressin and Oxytocin. Hence, option d is incorrect.
