Question

Match the following:

• A. A-V, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-V
• C. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-V, B-III, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Calcitonin → thyroid (C-cells), Parathyroid hormone → parathyroid.
Pituitary → prolactin; Corpus luteum → progesterone; Pineal → melatonin.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

• Prolactin is secreted by the anterior pituitary (A → V).
• Progesterone is produced mainly by the corpus luteum after ovulation (B → III).
• Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland (C → I).
• Calcitonin is produced by the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid gland (D → II).
• Therefore the correct matching is (4) A-V, B-III, C-I, D-II.
