Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The hypothyroidism can be defined as the condition in which the thyroid hormone is not able to produce thyroid hormones.

The thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone functions by regulating the production of the hormones by the thyroid gland.

If there is an unusual amount of the hormones released by the pituitary gland there will be an abnormal amount of the TSH and TRH. The thyroid stimulating hormones cannot respond to the hormone released from the pituitary.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
