Answer: D. estrogen and progesterone

Step-by-step explanation:

Puberty is a transitional phase from childhood to adulthood. It is initiated by the certain hormone production which are responsible for bringing changes in the physiology and morphology of the child which leads to the development of features which are found in adults like development of breasts in girls and development of beard and chest hair in boys.

The estrogen hormone secretes in females during puberty. It is responsible for the development of breasts, helps in development of the vagina, fallopian tubes and uterus. The progesterone helps in initiation and maintenance of the mensuration cycle.
