• B. auxins
• C. insulin
• D. morphactin

Answer 1

The correct option is C insulin

The hormone that promotes anabolism and inhibits catabolism is insulin.
Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes energy storage in the form of glycogen, triglycerides and proteins. Thus, insulin promotes anabolism (building up of tissues) and inhibits catabolism (breaking down of tissues) in muscle, liver, and fat cells. It increases the rate of synthesis of glycogen, fatty acids, and proteins.
