Solution

The correct option is D Corticoids
Corticoids are a class of steroids hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogs of these hormones. These hormones balance the stress response, energy flow, body temperature, water balance, and other essential processes. The gender-neutral corticoids guide these life-sustaining functions in both males and females. Phytohormones are chemicals that regulate plant growth. They are signal molecules produced within the plant and occur in extremely low concentrations. The six major phytohormones identified are auxins, abscisic acid, cytokinins, ethylene gibberellin, and brassinosteroids. Most recently jasmonates and strigolactones are two additions made to the list.
