Solution
Ovulation is brought about by the hormone of pituitary gland which is called luteinizing hormone (LH).
Explanation:
The hormone of the pituitary gland that brings about ovulation is called luteinizing hormone (LH). LH triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovarian follicle during ovulation. It also causes the ruptured follicle to develop into the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to prepare for pregnancy. This is why LH is directly responsible for ovulation, unlike follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or other hormones listed.
