Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Follicular cells of the thyroid produce thyroid hormones, which are represented by the code "T3." This code stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), although TSH itself is actually secreted by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid. The thyroid hormones produced by follicular cells are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), not TSH. However, the given code seems to be a typographical error or a misunderstanding.
