Correct answer: A. Oxytocin
- A. Oxytocin
- B. TSH
- C. ACTH
- D. FSH
Explanation
Options B, C, and D are all incorrect because these hormones are produced and secreted from the anterior pituitary. The posterior pituitary does not produce any hormone, but it secretes oxytocin and vasopressin. Hence, Oxytocin (A) is the best option.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
