QUESTION

Hormone for Lactogenesis is?

OPTIONS

(A) Estrogen
(B) Progesterone
(C) Prolactin
(D) All of the above

ANSWER

(C) Prolactin

EXPLANATION

Prolactin is the correct option because it is the principal hormone promoting lactogenesis, the initiation of milk synthesis, after the mammary gland has undergone appropriate development. Estrogen and progesterone are important for mammary development and preparation during pregnancy, but they do not serve as the primary lactogenic hormone, so “All of the above” is incorrect.
