C
Testosterone
D
Estrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (plus testosterone) causes the testes to produce sperm. Testosterone is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics, features of male development (including characteristics that are not part of the reproductive system, such as facial hair growth and voice change).

Detailed explanation-2: -Three hormones are the principle regulators of the male reproductive system: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates spermatogenesis; luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of testosterone; and testosterone stimulates the development of male secondary sex characteristics and spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Estradiol is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics, that is, growth and development of the breasts and reproductive organs, fat redistribution (hips, breasts), and bone maturation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers your pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH). LH then travels to your gonads and stimulates the production and release of testosterone.
