  • A inhibits the production of FSH from pituitary but doesn't inhibit the secretion of Gonadotropin Releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
  • B doesn't inhibit the production of FSH from pituitary but inhibits the secretion of Gonadotropin Releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
  • C inhibits the production of FSH from pituitary as well as the secretion of Gonadotropin Releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
  • D neither inhibits the production of FSH from pituitary nor does it inhibit the secretion of Gonadotropin Releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.

The correct answer is: inhibits the production of FSH from pituitary but doesn't inhibit the secretion of Gonadotropin Releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.
In males, hormone inhibin produced by Sertoli cells inhibits the production of FSH from the pituitary. However, inhibin does not inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. In females, inhibin is produced by granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. Androgens stimulate inhibin production, while GnRH inhibits inhibin production.
