Solution

The correct option is D Thyroxine
Insulin hormone serves to lower the blood glucose level. Growth hormone targets soft tissues and bones and serves to stimulate cell division, protein synthesis and bone growth. Progesterone prepares the uterus for implantation and maintains pregnancy by inhibiting gonadotropins. Thyroxine hormone is secreted by the thyroid gland that targets all tissues and stimulates metabolic rate, growth and development. Secretin induces the release of pancreatic juice from the pancreas. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
