Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the role of each hormone listed in the options. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is primarily involved in triggering ovulation and stimulating testosterone production.

Consider the function of Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH is responsible for stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, not directly involved in reproductive processes.

Examine the role of Prolactin. Prolactin is mainly involved in milk production after childbirth and does not play a direct role in estrogen secretion or sperm production.

Focus on Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is crucial for reproductive processes; in females, it stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and estrogen secretion, while in males, it promotes sperm production in the testes.

Conclude that Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is the hormone that stimulates the secretion of estrogen in females and sperm production in males, based on its specific functions in the reproductive system.
