Solution

The correct option is A Liver
  • Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands which are specific in nature.
  • Each hormone causes a response in a target organ or tissues.
  • Once the function of the hormones is completed on their target organs or tissues they are destroyed.
  • They are destroyed by the liver or the tissues of the target organs.
  • The destroyed hormone is removed by the kidney.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Liver'.
