The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.

<h3>What are Tectonic plates?</h3>

Plate tectonics, whose name derives from the Late Latin tectonicus and the Ancient Greek letter v, which means "pertaining to building," According to the widely accepted scientific idea , the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many major tectonic plates that have been gently shifting for nearly 3.4 billion years

The model is based on the idea of continental drift, which was created in the early 20th century. After seafloor spreading was confirmed in the mid- to late 1960s, plate tectonics became largely accepted by geoscientists.
