In this question, we need to match the endocrine glands with the hormones they secrete. Let`s go through the options:

I. Gonads - Gonads refer to the reproductive organs, which in males are the testes and in females are the ovaries. The hormones secreted by gonads include testosterone (in males) and progesterone (in females).

II. Pituitary - The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "master gland" because it secretes several hormones that control other glands in the body. Some of the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland include growth hormones, which play a role in regulating growth and development.

III. Pancreas - The pancreas is an organ that serves both digestive and endocrine functions. It secretes insulin, which plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels.

IV. Adrenal - The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys and secrete several hormones, including cortisol and cortisone, which are involved in regulating stress response and metabolism.

Based on the above information, the correct matching is:

I. Gonads - (B) Progesterone

II. Pituitary - (C) Growth hormones

III. Pancreas - (A) Insulin

IV. Adrenal - (D) Cortisone

Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) I-B, II-C, III-A, IV-D.
