The correct option is D Regulates the diurnal rhythm
Thyroid hormones are secreted from thyroid gland and regulate many functions of body like:
  • regulation of BMR (Basal metabolic rate) by thyroxine which increases consumption of glucose by metabolically active tissues.
  • regulation of proteins, carbohydrates and fats metabolism.
  • regulation of water and electrolyte balance by calcitonin which inhibits reabsorption of calcium by renal tubules.
Diurnal rhythm of body is regulated by melatonin hormone secreted from pineal gland.
