The pituitary glands are made of the anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces and releases hormones while the hormones are not produced by posterior pituitary. All the hormones such as growth hormone, FSH and adrenocorticotropic hormone are secreted fromthe anterior lobe of pituitary but oxytocin is secreted fromthe posterior pituitary.So, the correct option is 'Oxytocin.'
