Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus. It controls the female reproductive cycle by stimulating the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. These two hormones then act on the ovaries to regulate the cycle.

Hint

This hormone from the brain is the master regulator, telling the pituitary what to do.
