Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) acts on the thyroid gland to stimulate the production and release of thyroid hormones. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) acts on the adrenal gland to stimulate the production and release of cortisol. Gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH) act on the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males) to stimulate the production and release of sex hormones. Therefore, this group of pituitary hormones will act upon other endocrine glands.
