Solution

The correct option is A Bone
Normal growth is controlled by a number of hormones:
  • Growth hormone, made in the pituitary gland, which is the most important factor
  • Thyroid hormone
Growth involves the lengthening of bones. Therefore both of these play a role in increase in length of bone.
