Solution

The correct option is C Thyroxine
Thyroxine hormone plays a major role in the metamorphosis of frog. Metamorphosis is a process which converts larval stage to tadpole and finally into a frog. It was proved by the ectomy (removal) of thyroid gland in some larval stages of frog, which showed only very little growth. Thus, it was proved that thyroid gland plays a great role in metamorphosis of frog.
