The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

How does natural selection “drive” evolution?
yanalaym [24]

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.
