Thymus
B
Hypothalamus
C
Adrenal
D
Pancreas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothalamus is a structure deep within your brain. It’s the main link between your endocrine system and your nervous system. Your hypothalamus keeps your body balanced in a stable state called homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus (hi-po-THAL-uh-mus) is in the lower central part of the brain. It links the endocrine system and nervous system. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus make chemicals that control the release of hormones secreted from the pituitary gland.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus is connected directly to the pituitary gland via a thin stalk, called the infundibulum (Fig 1). Many actions initiated by the hypothalamus are mediated through secretions produced by the pituitary gland beneath it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adrenal gland. Like many glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The adrenal glands make and release corticosteroid hormones and epinephrine that maintain blood pressure and regulate metabolism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your pituitary gland is connected to your hypothalamus through a stalk of blood vessels and nerves (the pituitary stalk). Through that stalk, your hypothalamus communicates with the anterior pituitary lobe via hormones and the posterior lobe through nerve impulses.
