This gland is activated by FSH and LH
A
pancreas
B
gonads
C
parathyroid
D
thymus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothalamus begins the process of ovulation by releasing GnRH in a pulsatile fashion. This pulsatile release causes the anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH, which then act on the ovarian follicle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the pituitary secretes FSH and LH, a process which actually begins before the onset of your menses. These hormones in turn stimulate the growth of several ovarian follicles, each containing one egg. The number of follicles in the monthly “cohort” of developing follicles is unique to each individual.

Detailed explanation-3: -The anterior pituitary, where Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) are secreted by gonadotropes. 3. The gonads, responsible for the production of both sex steroids and gametes, under the influences of LH and FSH.

Detailed explanation-4: -FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)-stimulates ovarian follicle production in women; stimulates sperm production in men. LH (luteinizing hormone)-stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen in women; stimulates sperm production in men. Prolactin-stimulates breast tissue in nursing mothers to produce milk.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hypothalamus produces GnRH, and it is released into the hypophyseal portal circulation to act on G-protein-coupled receptors at gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary. Those gonadotropic cells produce FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) and release them into the peripheral circulation.
