Explanation / Answer

The body’s natural growth hormone production is controlled by the neurohormone Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GHRH)and is normally released in pulses or bursts throughout the day.The increased secretion of GNRH results in increased secretion of GH from anterior pitutary gland.

GH is released into the body, it stimulates the liver to make something called “insulin-like growth factor 1” (IGF-1), and this IGF-1 hormone then triggers the growth and repair of bones and body tissues, protein synthesis of muscles, cell reproduction and overall regeneration

Decrease release of GNRH will lead to decreased GH and in turn decreased IGH-1,

So the answer is B
