Best answer

Correct option (d) androgens

Explanation

Interstitial cells or cells of Leydig are present in the connective tissue lying in between seminiferous tubules. These cells secrete oestradiol steroid androgens, e.g. testosterone. Androgens stimulate male characters, influence male sexual behaviour (Iibido) and regulate the development, maturation and functions of male accessory sex organs.
