Solution

The correct option is A Thyroxine
The thyroid gland is composed of two lobes that are located on either side of the trachea.
Follicular cells of the thyroid gland synthesize two hormones, tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine ( $T_{4}$ ) and triiodothyronine ( $T_{3}$ ).
Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of the basal metabolic rate.
Hence the hormone secreted by the thyroid gland is thyroxine.
So, the correct answer is 'Thyroxine'.
