- We are very well aware with the male reproductive system where testes are the primary sex organs and located in an extra abdominal pouch of skin called scrotum.
- Each testes possess nearly 250 testicular lobules and each lobule has at least one to three seminiferous tubules where the spermatogenesis process takes place.
- As we know that spermatogenesis as the name suggests is the process of generation of sperms.
- Spermatogonia or the immature germ cells are present within the seminiferous tubules and these cells divide by mitosis and some of them enter Meiosis I to become primary spermatocytes and then they complete Meiosis I to become secondary spermatocytes.
- Secondary spermatocytes now Meiosis II to become spermatids which will differentiate into spermatozoa or sperms and will be released into the lumen of tubules.
- In these tubules are present two types of cells one is Sertoli’s cells which will provide nutrition to the growing sperms and the Leydig cells which secretes Testosterone which helps in maintaining the reproductive tract.
- Oestrogen and progesterone are the female hormones and oxytocin hormone helps in contraction of uterus and milk production in lactating females.
Therefore, from the above explanation we can say that spermatogenesis is promoted by Testosterone.
Hence, the correct answer is (C).

Opt C is the correct answer cuz the rest of the hormones are produced by females. Testosterone is produced by males during the process of spermatogenesis. Cuz if the testosterone is absent the spermatogenesis does not go beyond the meiosis stage. The majorcellular target and translator of testosterone signals to developing germ cells in the sertoli cells. And testosterone is produced by leydig cells.

Yes,,, Correct Option is (C) Testosterone. #Explanation : 👇👇👇As male attain puberty. Leydig cells surrounding seminiferous tubules start to secret testosterone harmone which initiate Spermatogenesis in Seminiferous tubules.👍👍👍
