Solution

The correct answer is B. Growth hormone. Hyposecretion of the growth hormone in children can lead to a condition known as dwarfism. This is because the growth hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, plays a key role in stimulating the growth of bones and tissues. If not enough of this hormone is produced during childhood, it can result in stunted growth or dwarfism.
