• B. $STH$
• C. $MSH$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$FSH$

Answer 2

During menopause, the level of estrogen in the blood decreases. Thus, estrogen can no longer inhibit the production of $FSH$ and $LH$. Therefore, $FSH$ and $LH$ (mainly $FSH$) are produced after menopause in large quantities and these (mainly $FSH$) are excreted out in urine.
