Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the primary sources of each hormone listed in the problem. This involves understanding the endocrine system and the organs responsible for hormone production.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive processes of both males and females.

Estrogen is primarily produced by the ovaries in females. It is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics and regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Testosterone is produced by the testes in males. It is essential for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and the maintenance of reproductive tissues.

Progesterone is primarily produced by the ovaries, specifically the corpus luteum, during the menstrual cycle. While the adrenal glands can produce small amounts of progesterone, they are not the primary source. Therefore, the statement 'Progesterone - Adrenal Glands' is mismatched.
