Answer:

Calcitonin

Explanation:

Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland.   This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.

Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are similar in a way in humans as bth these processes produce large numbers of sperms and eggs. Spermatogenesis is a continuous process where large numbers of sperms are produced at once and uses less energy. Ovulation is a process where only one egg or ovum matures at a time requires more energy. Not all the egg cells mature in females.
