Solution

The correct option is A Inhibitory neurohormone
In the central nervous system, gamma-Amino Butyric acid (GABA) acts as a neurotransmitter. It hinders the transmission of nerve impulses from one neuron to another and relaxes the nervous activities. Anxiety disorders, seizure disorders, headaches and Parkinson's syndrome are related to low GABA activity. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
