The correct answer is
Statement A is true but B is false.
To determine which statement is correct, we must understand the roles of testosterone and progesterone in puberty:
- Testosterone: This hormone is primarily responsible for the changes observed in boys during puberty, such as deepening of the voice, growth of facial and body hair, and increased muscle mass.
- Progesterone: This hormone is mainly involved in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy, and it is not associated with changes seen in boys during puberty.
Given this information, we can evaluate the statements:
- Statement A: True. Testosterone is indeed responsible for the changes seen in boys at puberty.
- Statement B: False. Progesterone does not bring about changes in boys at puberty.
Therefore, the correct option is: Statement A is true but B is false.
