The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding FSH**: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive system. 2. **Identifying the Role of FSH in Males**: In males, FSH primarily stimulates the process of spermatogenesis, which is the production of sperm cells in the testes. 3. **Reviewing the Options**: - **Option 1: Oogenesis** - This is the process of formation of female gametes (eggs) and is not relevant to males. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Spermatogenesis** - This is the correct answer as FSH stimulates the production of sperm in males. - **Option 3: Secretion of LH** - Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is also produced by the anterior pituitary but is not stimulated by FSH. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Option 4: Secretion of Testosterone** - Testosterone is an androgen produced in the testes, but its secretion is stimulated by LH, not FSH. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "FSH in males stimulates" is **spermatogenesis**. ---
