The correct answer is: A-IV, B-III, C-III, D-I
The correct answer is option (3) because
- Epinephrine is an emergency hormone, also known as adrenaline and is secreted from adrenal medulla.
- Thyroxine is secreted from thyroid gland and plays an important role in regulation of basal metabolic rate.
- Oxytocin is a peptide hormone synthesised by hypothalamus and released by posterior pituitary. It causes smooth muscle contraction.
- Glucagon is secreted from $\alpha$-cells of pancreas, acts mainly on hepatocytes and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar level or hyperglycemia.
