Solution

The correct option is B Hormones are stable, long-lasting chemicals released from gland.
A hormone is a regulatory chemical that is secreted into the blood by an endocrine gland or an organ of the body exhibiting an endocrine function. The blood carries the hormone to every cell in the body, but only the target cells for a given hormone can respond to it. Thus Hormones are stable, long lasting chemicals released from glands.
