(4) A is false but R is true
Solution
Assertion is false: FSH acts on the ovarian follicles in females, but in males it acts on the Sertoli cells (and stimulates spermatogenesis). The Leydig cells are stimulated by LH, not FSH.
Reason is true: the growing ovarian follicles secrete estrogens, and the Leydig (interstitial) cells of the testis secrete androgens.
Answer: (4)
