The correct answer is Growth Hormone.

It is also known as somatotropin or human growth hormone. It is a peptide hormone, which initiates reproduction of cell, growth, and regeneration of cells in humans. It thus, plays an essential role in human development.

The secretion of the hormone in the pituitary is mediated by the neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus.
