IMO the answer should be C.

It's not that scientists had to remove the hormone from the pituitary glands. It's just that before the scientists had learned how to create it artificially, the source of such hormone was the pituitary gland.
Scientists' job was to synthesize the hormone.

In option D, "make a synthetic" is wordy as compared to "synthesize".

What is the OA?
