Answer:

A) Prolactin

Explanation:

It is prolactin (PRL) hormone which is responsible for milk production from the mammary glands of females just after they have given birth. Prolactin hormone is a peptide hormone which is secreted from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland situated just below our brain. The secretion of prolactin hormone is strictly under the control of endocrine neurons present in hypothalamus. Apart from milk production, prolactin plays important role in metabolism. It also regulates immune system & causes pancreatic development.
