Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the role of hormones in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

Identify the function of each hormone group listed in the problem. Mineralocorticoids primarily regulate electrolyte and water balance. Glucocorticoids are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and have anti-inflammatory effects.

Recognize that catecholamines, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, are involved in the body's stress response and do not directly influence the development of sex organs.

Focus on androgens, which are a group of hormones that play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics and reproductive activity. They are responsible for the development of male sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics.

Conclude that androgens are the correct group of hormones responsible for the development of the sex organs, as they directly influence the growth and function of these organs.
