The correct option is B Thymosin
Thymosin hormone is secreted by thymus gland. It is responsible for development of our immune system. It stimulates the production of antibodies to provide immunity.

Thyroxine hormone is synthesised by thyroid gland. It is responsible for regulating the basal metabolic rate of the body.
