Hint: All the physiological and chemical process of the human body is through the hormonal response or chemical coordination and also this chemical coordination is provided through the neural coordination. The pituitary gland has a major role in controlling the chemical response too much.

Complete answer:
Hormones by the pituitary :
The anterior pituitary/ adenohypophysis/ endocrine gland/ endocrine/ductless gland} gland produces the subsequent hormones and releases them into the bloodstream:
adrenocorticotropic secretion, that stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, primarily cortisol.
Growth hormone, that regulates growth, metabolism and body composition luteinising secretion and vesicle stimulating secretion, additionally called gonadotropins. They act on the ovaries or testes to stimulate internal secretion production, and egg and spermatozoon maturity
prolactin, that stimulates milk production
thyroid-stimulating secretion, that stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroid hormones.
Each of those hormones is formed by a separate kind of cell at intervals in the pituitary, apart from vesicle stimulating secretion and luteinising secretion, that area unit created along by identical cells.
Two hormones area unit made by the neural structure and so keep within the posterior pituitary {gland/neurohypophysis/pars nervosa/endocrine gland/endocrine/ductless gland} gland before being secreted into the blood. These are:
antidiuretic secretion (also referred to as vasopressin), that controls water balance and pressure oxytocin, that stimulates female internal reproductive organ contractions throughout labour and milk secretion throughout breastfeeding. Between the {anterior pituitary/anterior pituitary/ gland/endocrine/ductless gland} and therefore the neurohypophysis lies the intermediate pituitary gland. Cells here produce melanocyte-stimulating secretion, that acts on cells within the skin to stimulate the assembly of melanin.

So, C is the correct answer.

Note: Pituitary gland has a major role in the controlling of a chemical response or hormonal effect of the human body. Main the anterior pituitary has a key role, i.e. by anterior pituitary generally growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, LH and FSH, prolactin etc.but posterior pituitary secretes only vasopressin and oxytocin.
