Solution

The correct option is B Thyroxine
The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine ( $T_{3}$ ) and thyroxine ( $T_{4}$ ), are tyrosine-based (peptide in nature) hormones produced by the thyroid gland, that are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. Aldosterone, androgen and oestrogen are steroid hormones.
So, the correct answer is option D.
