d. Prolactin
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of testosterone in males: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.
Identify the equivalent hormone in females that plays a similar role in developing female secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.
Review the options given: a. Luteinizing hormone, b. Progesterone, c. Estrogen, d. Prolactin.
Recall that estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, similar to how testosterone functions in males.
Conclude that the hormone analogous to testosterone in females is estrogen.
