    Ans (b)
    Sol. Adrenal: The adrenal glands produce hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, and aldosterone, but they do not secrete growth hormone.
    Pituitary: The pituitary gland, specifically the anterior pituitary, secretes growth hormone (GH), which is responsible for stimulating growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in the body. This is the correct answer.
    Ovaries: The ovaries produce sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone but do not secrete growth hormone.
    Testes: The testes primarily produce testosterone and sperm cells. Growth hormone is not secreted by the testes.
