Correct Answer:

The base of the brain


Solution : The correct option is -

The pituitary gland is situated at the base of the brain, just below the hypothalamus. It is a small, pea-sized gland that is often referred to as the master gland because it plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by producing and releasing hormones into the bloodstream. The pituitary gland is divided into two main parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary, each of which has distinct functions and secretes different hormones.
