Correct Answer
(C) Epinephrine
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (c) Epinephrine Solution: On the basis of chemical nature, NCERT lists amino-acid derivatives with epinephrine (adrenaline) as the example. Estradiol and estriol are steroid hormones and ecdysone is an insect steroid, so only epinephrine is an amino-acid-derived hormone. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 248, Line(s) 9 — "(iv) amino-acid derivatives (e.g., epinephrine)."
