Testosterone is produced by the interstitial cells of the testes and is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as facial hair, muscle development, and a deepening voice.

Answer: B and E
 Luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are both involved in the regulation of the reproductive system. LH stimulates the production of testosterone in males and the release of eggs in females. hCG helps maintain the production of progesterone during pregnancy.

Answer: D
 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for stimulating the development of ovarian follicles in females and sperm production in males.
