Anterior pituitary produce seven hormones which are namely growth ormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), melanin stimulating hormone (MSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), leutinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This makes option B correct. Options A, C and D are incorrect as vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone; ADH) and oxytocin are produced by hypothalamus but stored and released in to blood stream via posterior pituitary.
