    A)  FSH                                      

    B)  testosterone

    C)  ICSH                                     

    D)  estrogen

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Deficient secretion of testosterone before puberty retards growth of genitalia, muscles and bones as well as the development of sexual characteristics. The affected person develops into sterile neuter or eunuch (eunuchoidism). They are relatively taller with longer limbs, but lean and weak in constitution. FSH-Follicle Stimulating Hormone is secreted by   pituitary   gland.    It    stimulates spermatogenesis and also takes part in the growth of testes. It also stimulates the theca cells of mature ovarian follicle to secrete female sex hormone oestrogen. ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone) stimulates the secretion of testosterone. It is also known as leuteinising hormone. Estrogen is a steroid hormone and is secreted by Graafian follicle of ovary. It stimulates the growth of uterine contraction. In addition, it helps in differentiation of mammary glands.
