The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormone is being described in the statements provided, we can analyze each statement step by step: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement (i)**: "Regulates the development, maturation and functions of epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, urethra, etc." - These are all male reproductive organs, indicating that the hormone in question is likely a male hormone. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Stimulates muscular growth of facial and axillary hair, aggressiveness, low pitch of voice, etc." - These characteristics are typically associated with male secondary sexual characteristics, further suggesting that the hormone is related to male physiology. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Stimulates spermatogenesis." - Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm formation, which is a function of male reproductive hormones. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Act on CNS and sexual behaviour (Libido)." - This indicates that the hormone has effects on the central nervous system and influences sexual behavior, which is again consistent with male hormones. 5. **Statement (v)**: "Produce anabolic (synthetic) effect on protein and carbohydrate metabolism." - Anabolic effects are often associated with hormones that promote muscle growth and overall physical development, which aligns with male hormones. 6. **Statement (vi)**: "The Leydig's cells/interstitial cells (present in intertubular space) secrete this hormone under the influence of LH." - Leydig cells are known to produce testosterone, which is a type of androgen, in response to luteinizing hormone (LH). Based on the analysis of all six statements, the hormone being referred to is **androgen**. ### Final Answer: The hormone referred to in the statements is **androgen**.
