B)ACTH.
C)diuretic.
D)MSH.
E)oxytocin.

Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is a hormone stored and released by the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland). It plays a role in reproduction, including uterine contractions during childbirth and milk letdown in lactating women. The other choices (thyroxine, ACTH, diuretic, and MSH) are not hormones stored and released by the neurohypophysis.
