Best answer

Answer: 2. Estrogen and Parathyroid hormone

Key idea: Osteoporosis is loss of bone mass, linked to low estrogen and to calcium regulation.

Estrogen helps keep bone density. Its fall after menopause is a major cause of osteoporosis.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) raises blood calcium by drawing calcium out of bone, so it affects bone mass.
Aldosterone, prolactin and progesterone are not main regulators of bone mass.

Answer: option 2.
