Answer:

The correct answer is option b.) Oxytocin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our brain has a "main" gland called pituitary gland, which generates a hormone responsible for stimulating milk secretion in a female mammal, and this hormone is called oxytocin.

After having their offspring, or a woman a baby, this hormone is released from our brain, allowing the milk that serves as food for these offspring or baby.

If the female is in a situation where her babies have been born recently, then this hormone will be generated naturally.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option B.
