  • A
    A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  • B
    A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
  • Correct answer
    C
    A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
  • D
    A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

Solution

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses the immune response.

Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of $\text{Na}^{+}$ and water.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a gastrointestinal hormone that acts on the pancreas and gall bladder, stimulating the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice.

Progesterone is a steroid hormone secreted by the corpus luteum. It acts on the mammary glands and stimulates the formation of alveoli (sac-like structures which store milk).

Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.

Answer: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
