Explanation:

1. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland and targets the ovaries (in females) to trigger ovulation and corpus luteum formation.
2. Follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) is also released by the anterior pituitary gland and acts on the ovaries to stimulate follicle development.
3. Gonadotropin - releasing hormone (GnRH) is released by the hypothalamus, not the pituitary gland.
4. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, not the pituitary gland.

Answer:

A. Luteinizing hormone, D. Follicle - stimulating hormone
