Solution

The correct option is A Thyroxine
  • Thyroxine is the hormone which is called as the calorigenic hormone. The hormone results in an increase in the uptake of oxygen by the cells.
  • This causes an increase in respiration and the production of ATP. The ATP is used to perform the various chemical reactions which cause increased metabolism.
  • There is an enhancement in the energy production processes in the cell which increases the BMR (Basal metabolic rate).
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
