• A. Thyroxine
• B. Thymosin
• C. Somatotrophic hormone
• D. Thyroxine and somatotrophic hormones

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Thyroxine and somatotrophic hormones

Growth at the end of childhood and during puberty is controlled by Thyroxine and somatotrophic hormones. Thyroxines are released from the gland and travel through the bloodstream to your body's cells. They help control the growth and the structure of bones, sexual development (puberty), and many other body functions. Somatotrophic hormones is vital for normal physical growth in children; its levels rise progressively during childhood and peak during the growth spurt that occurs in puberty.

So, the correct option is ‘Thyroxine and somatotrophic hormones’.
