Reference - 11th ncert page number 332 .

Answer

Released from the pituitary gland:
All three hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and oxytocin, are released from the pituitary gland.

Tropic hormones (act on other endocrine tissue):
While TSH and LH are considered tropic hormones, oxytocin is not. Tropic hormones are hormones that regulate the function of other endocrine glands. TSH acts on the thyroid gland to stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormones, while LH acts on the ovaries in females and testes in males to regulate reproductive processes.

Steroid hormones:
Steroid hormones are a class of hormones derived from cholesterol. They have a characteristic structure consisting of four interconnected rings. TSH, LH, and oxytocin are not steroid hormones, as they do not have the same structure or origin.

Sex hormones:
While LH is involved in the regulation of sex hormones, specifically in the stimulation of ovulation and the production of testosterone in males, TSH and oxytocin are not directly involved in the regulation of sex hormones.

In summary, the correct answer is option 'A' because all three hormones, TSH, LH, and oxytocin, are released from the pituitary gland. However, it is important to note that only TSH and LH are tropic hormones, while oxytocin is not. Additionally, none of the hormones mentioned are steroid hormones, and only LH is directly involved in the regulation of sex hormones.
