Answer:

The answer is option D. Secretion is regulated by a hypothalamus regulatory hormone

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is the connection between the nervous system and the endocrine system. It regulates the function of the pituitary gland by promoting or inhibiting hormone release by the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes corticotropin releasing hormone which act on the anterior pituitary gland to secrete ACTH to control the production of cortisol and androgens.
