Which of the following endocrine organ(s) is/are correctly matched with their function(s) and anatomical location (endocrine organ: function: location)? 

i) Pituitary gland: production of several trophic hormones (FSH, LH, TSH  ACTH),  prolactin, and growth hormone: located in sella turcica. 

ii) Pineal gland: Production of melatonin hormone: located in the abdomen. 

iii) Testes: production of estrogen and progesterone: located in the scrotum. 

iv) Pancreas: control of glucose metabolism via production of glucagon and insulin: located in the abdomen and extends retroperitoneally from the duodenum to the spleen.
