Among the given options, only LH (luteinizing hormone) is a tropic hormone secreted by the pars distalis of the pituitary gland. Tropic hormones stimulate the secretion of another hormone in a different endocrine gland. LH stimulates the production of testosterone in males and estrogen in females. MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone), prolactin, and growth hormone are not tropic hormones.
