To determine which endocrine glands control reproduction and fertility, we analyze each option:

• Ovaries: Female reproductive gland producing sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone) and eggs, key for female reproduction/fertility.
• Testes: Male reproductive gland producing testosterone and sperm, key for male reproduction/fertility.

• Pineal gland: Regulates sleep - wake cycle (melatonin), not reproduction.
• Thyroid gland: Regulates metabolism, not reproduction.
