The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Options**: The question asks for the male hormone and provides four options: Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, and All of these. 2. **Understand the Hormones**: - **Estrogen**: This is primarily a female hormone responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. - **Progesterone**: This is also a female hormone that plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. - **Testosterone**: This is the primary male hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. 3. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: Since Estrogen and Progesterone are female hormones, they cannot be the answer to the question about the male hormone. Therefore, we can eliminate options A (Estrogen) and B (Progesterone). 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: The only hormone left is Testosterone, which is indeed the male hormone. Therefore, the correct answer is C (Testosterone). 5. **Additional Information**: Testosterone is produced in the testicles and plays a crucial role in sexual development and function in males. **Final Answer**: The male hormone is **Testosterone**. ---
