Answer
(c) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Explanation:
TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and secrete its hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). TSH production and release are regulated by the hypothalamus, which secretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH.
