Answer:

C. Sending a message to the pituitary gland to start producing a hormone when the levels in the body are too low

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not A, because that's the nervous system, not endocrine.

It's not B, because homeostasis = balance, and not stopping production isn't balance

It's not D, because that's the nervous system again.

The endocrine system governs hormones.
