Likely, B is the expected answer.

_____
As one who has suffered health problems for more than 40 years due to the desire of certain chemical industries to make money by polluting my food, I can barely remain civil when discussing genetic modification.

The right answer is: Leptin .

Leptin is a hormone closely linked to the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure: appetite, metabolism, and hunger.

A hormone is a protein with a messenger function. This means that once released into the bloodstream, she goes to another part of the body to transmit a message to specific receptors.

Leptin is manufactured in white adipocytes (adipose tissue) where triglycerides (fats) are stored and acts on the hypothalamus.
