Accepted Answer

Corticotropes are a type of endocrine cell in the anterior pituitary gland that produces and releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus. ACTH then stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and release cortisol, a steroid hormone that helps regulate the body's response to stress. Therefore, the best choice is C, ACTH.
