Solution

The correct option is B Cyclic AMP
Peptide hormones act on the target cells and triggers neosynthesis of a specific product but do not get involved in any release step. While extracellular calcium ions at physiological concentrations work as the first messengers that activate steroidogenesis of the isolated cells, cyclic AMP is known to be the subserving factor that initiates and maintains full steroidogenesis.
