A
Pituitary
B
Adrenals
C

D
Pineal Body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Regulation of thyroid hormone starts at the hypothalamus. 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-2: -The pituitary affects the thyroid by producing a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH causes cells within your thyroid to make more T3 and T4 hormone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pituitary gland makes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make. If the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland makes larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder.
