Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Solution

Excess secretion of growth hormone in adults, especially in middle age, can result in severe disfigurement (especially of the face) called Acromegaly. Thus, A matches with III.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) induces the rupture of the Graafian follicle and thereby causes the release of an ovum (ovulation). Thus, B matches with IV.

Vasopressin acts mainly at the kidney and stimulates the reabsorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules, thereby reducing the loss of water through urine (diuresis). Thus, C matches with I.

Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of our body and stimulates their contraction. In females, it stimulates a vigorous contraction of the uterus at the time of childbirth. Thus, D matches with II.

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

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

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