Solution

The correct option is B Growth hormone
  • The effects of growth hormone on the tissues of the body can generally be described as anabolic (building up).
  • Like most other protein hormones, GH acts by interacting with a specific receptor on the surface of cells. Increased height during childhood is the most widely known effect of GH.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
