Correct Answer

Explanation

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in reproductive function. In males, FSH triggers the production of sperm by the testes, while in females, it stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, which release eggs during ovulation. FSH levels vary throughout the menstrual cycle, peaking just before ovulation. Therefore, Option (C) is the correct answer.
