Solution

The correct option is D Prostagladins
The local hormones are released by the nerve cells and the glands. These hormones act on the same cells as well as on the cells which are near to the location. Prostaglandins contain unsaturated fatty acids and are lipid in nature. These molecules are produced by the oxidation of the arachidonic acid. The prostaglandins are released by the damaged cells. This hormone is responsible for inducing pain and increase in the temperature in the nearby cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
