Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gonadotropic hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulate hormone secretion by the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males). These hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland of both males and females. Prolactin is not a gonadotropic hormone, although it also originates from the anterior pituitary gland. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer.
