Solution
The correct option is C Thyroxine
Thyroxine stimulates oxygen consumption by metabolically active tissues. It also helps to increase the oxidation of glucose in tissues. Thus, it helps in regulation of basal metabolic rate.ADH (Antidiuretic hormone) promotes reabsorption of water from glomerular filtrate. Other functions include contraction of arterioles and capillaries.GH (Growth hormone) stimulates body growth, protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism.Oxytocin stimulates ejection of milk and contraction of the uterus during birth.So, the correct answer is A.
