a oxytocin; antidiuretic hormone (adh)
b growth hormone; prolactin
c antidiuretic hormone (adh); prolactin
d cortisol; aldosterone

Explanation:

The hypothalamus produces oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). These hormones are then stored in the posterior pituitary gland. Growth hormone and prolactin (Option B) are produced by the anterior pituitary. Prolactin in Option C is also from the anterior pituitary. Cortisol (from the adrenal cortex) and aldosterone (from the adrenal cortex) in Option D are not related to the hypothalamus - posterior pituitary relationship.

Answer:

A. oxytocin; antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
