Answer 1

The anterior pituitary gland directly produces Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Prolactin, and Growth Hormone (GH). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option (D) I, II and III, indicating that all listed hormones are direct products of the anterior pituitary gland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hormones that are directly produced by the anterior pituitary gland include:

1. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
2. Prolactin - stimulates milk production in lactating females.
3. Growth Hormone (GH) - stimulates growth and metabolism.

All these hormones are direct products of the anterior pituitary gland. According to the multiple-choice options given in the question, (D) I, II and III is the correct answer, indicating that TSH, Prolactin, and Growth Hormone are all direct hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.
