• C. Secreted only in the animals but not in plants
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Secreted in restricted areas and influence the activities of various parts of body

• Hormones are special chemical messengers in the body that are created in the endocrine glands.
• These messengers control most major bodily functions, from simple basic needs like hunger to complex systems like reproduction, and even the emotions and mood.
• The anterior pituitary gland produces the following hormones and releases them into the bloodstream.
• Hormones released by different parts will influence its activity. For example adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principally cortisol. Hence, Hormones in our body are the substances which are secreted in restricted areas and influence the activities of various parts of the body.

So, the correct answer is 'Secreted in restricted areas and influence the activities of various parts of the body'.
