Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first hormone signaling puberty is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is produced in the hypothalamus. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which then stimulate the testes (in males) or ovaries (in females) to produce sex hormones and begin the process of puberty. Therefore, the correct answer is D, the hypothalamus.
