Correct answer: C. Oestrogen
- A. Progesterone
- B. Lactin
- C. Oestrogen
- D. Oxytocin
Explanation
Oestrogen (Estrogen) is the correct answer. FSH stimulates the ovary to produce estrogen (also spelled as oestrogen). Estrogen is a group of hormones primarily responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and preparation of the uterus for potential pregnancy. FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, which then produce estrogen.
