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. Plants with built-in pesticides are bad news on so many levels it would take a library of books to discuss them all. What, after all, is the benefit of efficiently producing poison?

Leokris [45]

Insect hormones and their receptors are a focus in pest control and research. Hence, Option B is correct.

Some of the insect hormones such as ecdysone (molting hormone), JH (juvenile hormone) and their analogs can be used for biological control of pests.

Option A: Hormone receptors are proteins that bind hormones and form hormone receptor complex to maintain cellular activities.

So Option A is incorrect.

Option B: Some of the peptide hormones used in pest control and research. So Option B is correct.

Option C: Peptide hormones interact with only cell surface whereas aminoacid derivatives and thyroid hormones directly interact with nucleus. so Option C is incorrect.

option D is incorrect.
