The correct option is A Thyroxine Apart from sex hormones, there are other hormones that influence the life cycle of an organism like frogs and causes metamorphism. Metamorphism is due to hormonal effect. Metamorphism in frog is controlled by thyroxine hormone. Iodine is required for the production of thyroxine.
