Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "tropic" refers to hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands to release their hormones. The hormones listed in the question are all tropic hormones, as they stimulate the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, and gonads (ovaries or testes) to produce their respective hormones.

Choices B and D are not accurate descriptions of the listed hormones.
