I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The function that is both performed by goblet cells and lacrimal glands is protection. They produce mucus in order to protect mucous membranes. Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
C. is unstable, with a short half life
Explanation:
Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.
Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.
