<h2>
Answer:</h2>
I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>
This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.
<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>
Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.
<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>
Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.
<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>
This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.

Explanation:
A. Most people thought that trillium was not getting enough sunlight in the forest.
Explanation – Scientists used to believe that the population of trillium decreased because there were not enough sunlight to reach these plants. Later, it was found that deer used to eat the flowers of trillium plant that led to the decrease of its population.
The seed of the trillium plant is very nutritious and hence consumed by the deer. Because of this, trilliums were found to be unlikely to recolonize local areas on their own.
Dimorphic, polymorphic, and continuously variable traits are distinguished as follows:
- Dimorphism is the condition of those<em> species</em> of animals or plants that exhibit two anatomical aspects or two different forms.
- When talking about polymorphisms in genetics, reference is made to the different variations that may exist on the DNA of the same gene.
- Continuously variable traits are those that show a continuous distribution of phenotypes.
Therefore, we can conclude that dimorphism is a polymorphism with only two forms, the polymorphism is any stable change of the DNA fixed in the population and in continuously variable traits the phenotypes show a continuous series and cannot be easily grouped.
