Answer:

D) anterior pituitary gland

Explanation:

The anterior pituitary gland is the front portion of the pituitary. It is a small gland in the head called the master gland. Hormones which are secreted by the anterior pituitary influence growth, sexual development, skin pigmentation, thyroid function, and adrenocortical function.

The Anterior Lobe of the pituitary plays the 'master' role of the human body through secretion of six major hormones that affect most of the body. This includes the other Endocrine glands.
