Solution

The correct option is A Receptor
  • Receptors are specific proteins located on target tissues to which specific hormones bind to produce their effect.
  • Binding of a hormone to its receptor leads to the formation of a hormone-receptor complex. Formation of Hormone-Receptor complex leads to certain biochemical changes in the target tissue.
  • Hence Receptor site responds to a hormone.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Receptor'.
