Solution
The correct option is A Blood
Blood is the medium of transport of animal hormones. The tissues that produce the hormones are known as the effectors while those tissues that are influenced by the effectors are called targets. Hormones are of low molecular weight and they diffuse readily.
The effects brought about by the hormones are not permanent as they get readily oxidized.
