Answer #1

TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone)

Explanation: The increased amount of prolactin production takes place in prolactinoma cancer. In this condition the amount of milk production increases due increase in prolactin. This leads to the pituitary adinoma followed by hypothyroidism and decrease in the thyroid hormone production.

Pituitary adenoma leads to increase in TRH produced by hypothalamus. TRH helps to increase in the thyrotropin and prolactin.

The remaining choices are wrong because it is not true for the given statement.

Hope it will helpful to you. Thank you
