Solution

The correct option is B Cortisol, testosterone
Cortisol and testosterone are steroid hormones which are lipid soluble and easily pass through the cell membrane of a target cell and bind to specific intercellular receptor.
All the other hormones mentioned here are hydrophilic hormones, which bind to specific extracellular receptors.
