The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Inhibin**: Inhibin is a hormone that plays a role in the regulation of reproductive hormones. It primarily inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. 2. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Inhibin inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone, follicular stimulating hormone, and prolactin." - This statement is incorrect because inhibin primarily inhibits FSH and does not significantly affect LH or prolactin. - **Statement 2**: "It is produced by granulosa cells of the ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH." - This statement is correct. Inhibin is indeed produced by the granulosa cells in the ovaries and it specifically inhibits FSH secretion. - **Statement 3**: "It is produced by granulosa cells in the ovary and inhibits the secretion of LH." - This statement is incorrect. Inhibin does not inhibit LH; it primarily inhibits FSH. - **Statement 4**: "It is produced by nurse cells in the testis and inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone." - This statement is also incorrect. Inhibin is produced by Sertoli cells in the testes, and it primarily inhibits FSH, not LH. 3. **Conclusion**: The only correct statement regarding inhibin is Statement 2, which states that it is produced by granulosa cells of the ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH. ### Final Answer The correct statement on inhibin is: **It is produced by granulosa cells of the ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH.** ---
