This hormone stimulates the thyroid gland
A
Luteinizing hormone
B
prolactin
C
thyroid-stimulating hormone
D
growth hormone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -TSH, in turn, stimulates thyroid follicular cells to release thyroxine or T4 (80%), and triiodothyronine or T3 (20%). Somatostatin, on the other hand, is another hormone produced by the hypothalamus that inhibits the release of TSH from the anterior pituitary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) into the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system to the anterior pituitary gland. TRH stimulates thyrotropin cells in the anterior pituitary to the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Detailed explanation-3: -What is thyroid stimulating hormone? Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. It stimulates the production of the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), by the thyroid gland by binding to its receptors in the thyroid gland.
