Solution

The correct option is D Pheromone
Pheromones are chemical signals released by an organism that influence the behavior of another. They are released into its environment enabling it to communicate with other members of its own species. They are often involved in the mating behavior between males and females in which the chemical serves as an attractant for one of the sexes. Hence option E is correct.
