Answer:

C is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The pituitary gland also known as the Master gland controls and regulates secretion of most hormones, when taller people usually grow past expected height this is normally due to the Pituitary gland not properly regulating and it secretes too many growth hormones causing "gigantism."
