Estrogen is responsible for developing and maintaining female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development, growth of body hair, and regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Answer: C 
 Both estrogen and progesterone play important roles in developing and maintaining female secondary sexual characteristics. Estrogen is primarily responsible for breast development and regulation of the menstrual cycle, while progesterone plays a role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Estrogen stimulates duct development in the breasts. Progesterone stimulates the growth of glandular tissue within the breasts, but does not directly stimulate duct development. Both hormones work together to prepare the breasts for lactation, but only estrogen specifically stimulates duct development.
