Expert Solution
Step 1

The chemical secretions of the glands that lack ducts called the endocrine glands are called hormones. Hormones act as chemical messengers and travel via the bloodstream to their target site. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) are examples of hormones. 

Step 2

The production of LH and FSH occurs in the anterior region of the pituitary gland under the stimulation of the Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus gland. FSH and LH function in males and females to promote the production of gametes (sperm and egg) and reproductive hormones (testosterone, estrogen).
Hence, the option 'c' is correct.
