Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is responsible for controlling the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. In the case of sex hormones, the hypothalamus triggers the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which then stimulate the release of estrogen and testosterone from the ovaries and testes. These sex hormones then have a feedback loop and influence the brain, including the hypothalamus. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
