The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for the hormone that acts on the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone) after puberty. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) - TRH (Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone) - GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone) - GnTH (Gonadotropin Thyrotropin Hormone) 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **ACTH**: This hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex and is not involved in the release of FSH and LH. Therefore, it can be eliminated. - **TRH**: This hormone is responsible for the release of Thyrotropin (TSH) from the anterior pituitary, not FSH or LH. Thus, this option can also be eliminated. - **GnTH**: This hormone does not exist; hence, it is not a valid option. - **GnRH**: This is Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, which specifically stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. 4. **Conclusion**: The only hormone that acts on the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of FSH and LH after puberty is GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone). 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone)**. ---
