The pituitary gland is known as the "master gland" because it produces and regulates several hormones that control the function of other glands in the endocrine system. The adrenal gland (option A) produces hormones that help control stress and regulate metabolism, but it is not considered the master gland. The pancreas (option B) produces insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels, but it does not control the hormone production of other glands. The thyroid gland (option D) produces hormones that regulate metabolism and growth, but it does not have the same level of control over other glands as the pituitary gland does.
