Even if hormonal control is delayed, why does it remain useful for the body?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it can control growth, metabolism, and long-term changes
The governing concept is the difference between rapid neural control and slower hormonal control. Endocrine glands release hormones into the blood, so their effects usually begin more slowly than a reflex. However, hormones can reach target organs and regulate growth, metabolism, development, and other sustained changes over longer periods. Therefore option A is correct. B reverses the comparison, while C and D contradict how endocrine signals work.
