Solution

The correct option is D Slow and long lasting
Steroid Hormones have slow but long lasting effects.
these hormones diffuse through plasma members to bind cytoplasmic receptors in cells which causes their uptake into the nucleus of the cell.
In the nucleus they act as transcription promoters to regulate gene products, and thus their effects last for a long time

Peptide Hormones and Amino Acid Derivatives have fast and short lasting effects.
These hormones bind to cell surface receptors and use a second messenger system such as CAMP to activate protein production, which multiple the effectiveness of the hormone.
