The release of which hormone is stimulated by the suckling reflex during breastfeeding?
A. Prolactin
B. Oxytocin
C. Progesterone
D. Estrogen

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary, triggers the milk let-down reflex by causing myoepithelial cells around alveoli to contract upon suckling. Prolactin stimulates milk synthesis. Estrogen and progesterone are involved in breast development during pregnancy but not the immediate ejection reflex.
