The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormone is incorrectly paired with its function, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hormones and Their Functions**: - **GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone)**: It is responsible for the controlled release of FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone). This pairing is correct. - **Oxytocin**: This hormone stimulates uterine contractions during parturition (childbirth). This pairing is also correct. - **Estrogen**: This hormone is responsible for the development of primary and secondary female sexual characteristics, including regulation of the menstrual cycle and breast development. This pairing is correct as well. - **Inhibin**: The function stated is that it stimulates secretion by developing follicles. However, inhibin actually inhibits the secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland. This pairing is incorrect. 2. **Conclusion**: - The hormone that is incorrectly paired with its function is **Inhibin**. The correct function of inhibin is to inhibit FSH secretion, not stimulate it. ### Final Answer: The incorrectly paired hormone with its function is **Inhibin**. ---
