Answer:

The correct answer is - option E.

Explanation:

The anterior and posterior pituitary glands are he two distinct lobes of the pituitary gland which is controlled by the hypothalamus. The anterior lobe of the master gland is receives its signals from the specific neurons of the hypothalamus known as parvocellular neurons and produces six hormones that release in to circulation by itself.

On other hand the extension of the hypothalamus or the posterior pituitary gland receives the neurohormones from the hypothalamus such as oxytocin  and ADH. Neurohormones are the hormones that are released by neurons of the posterior pituitary gland.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.
