b. Thyroid
c. Parathyroid
d. Pineal

Answer 1

The endocrine system is a group of glands that regulate the body's hormones. Hormones are used by the body for a range of activities. The endocrine system regulates the release of hormones in your body.

Complete Answer:
The pituitary gland is the endocrine system's master gland. Because the activity of other endocrine glands can be modulated in some situations. It is found in the brain's lower hemisphere. This gland secretes hormones such as development hormone, thyroid hormone stimulus, gonad hormone, and follicle hormone stimulus.
Thyroid gland: The thyroid gland is a gland that is located between the neck and the pharynx. Thyroxine is separated, and metabolically active tissue becomes more exogenous. Thyroid hormone levels must be adjusted to accommodate brain development during childhood and adolescence.
The parathyroid gland is made up of four tiny glands in the back of the neck that look like small sacks. The calcium level in the blood is controlled. The parathyroid gland secretes parathormone, which stimulates calcium reabsorption from bones.
The pineal gland is a tiny endocrine gland in the brain. It is located at the back of the forebrain. It gets its name from its pine cone-like shape. Hormones such as melatonin and serotonin are secreted.

Therefore (a) pituitary gland is the correct answer.

Note:
The Pituitary gland produces the following hormones: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), GH (growth hormone), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone).
