C Correct answer
Explanation

The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' because it controls other endocrine glands by secreting hormones that regulate their function. It produces hormones like TSH (thyroid), ACTH (adrenal), and FSH/LH (reproductive) that stimulate other glands. The thymus produces T-cells, the pancreas regulates blood sugar, and ovaries produce eggs - none regulate the entire endocrine system.
