B Correct answer
Explanation

The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' because it produces hormones that regulate other endocrine glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs. The pineal gland regulates sleep cycles, the pancreas produces insulin and digestive enzymes, and while the brain controls everything, it's not typically called the 'master gland' in endocrine contexts.
