Solution

The correct option is B Cytoplasmic receptors
Intracellular receptors are protein receptors, which are found on the inside of the cell, especially in the cytoplasm or nucleus. The ligands of these receptors are small in size and hydrophobic. Inside the cell, many of these molecules bind to proteins, which act as regulators of mRNA synthesis.
So, the correct answer is option A.
