Select the mismatched pair :

  • A.Estrogen - Ovary
  • B.Thyroxine - Thyroid Gland
  • C.Adrenaline - Pituitary Gland
  • D.Testosterone - Testes

Answer: C

The mismatched pair is Adrenaline - Pituitary Gland.

Adrenaline is secreted by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. It prepares the body for emergencies by raising heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar.

The other pairs are correct: estrogen is made by the ovaries, thyroxine by the thyroid gland, and testosterone by the testes. The pituitary gland makes hormones such as growth hormone and the hormones that control other glands, but not adrenaline.
