Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) estrogen and progesterone

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) : \(GnRH\) is secreted by the hypothalamus which stimulates the anterior lobe of pituitary gland to secrete luteinising hormone \((LH) \) and \(FSH\). \(FSH \) stimulates the growth of the ovarian follicles and stimulates the formation of estrogens. \(LH\) stimulates the corpus luteum to secrete progesterone. Rising levels of progesterone and estrogen inhibits the release of \(GnRH\), which in turn, inhibits the production of \(FSH\) and \(LH\).
