Explanation / Answer

47) Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary. In females, it stimulates ovulation whereas in males it is responsible for the production of sperms by stimulating the sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. So, a male who is not secreting enough FSH would not be able to father a child. Therefore, the answer for this question is option c (FSH stimulates sperm production in males).
