C) Increased GnRH production, increased sensitivity of the anterior pituitary to GnRH and the subsequent release of LH and FSH, and increased sensitivity of ovaries and testes to LH and FSH. D) Increased hypothalamic LH production, anterior pituitary release of estrogen and testosterone, estrogen activation of ovaries and testosterone activation of testes. E) Increased hypothalamic estrogen and testosterone production, estrogen activation of ovaries and testosterone activation of testes.
