Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
LH (luteinizing hormone) is responsible for controlling the production of male sex hormones (mainly testosterone) in the testes. LH stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, which is then released into the bloodstream. This process is known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.
