How is the effect of hormonal control generally?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Slow and long-lasting
The governing concept is the characteristic time course of endocrine coordination. Hormones are released by endocrine glands into the bloodstream, travel to target cells, and alter cellular activity through specific receptors. This transport and action usually make the response slower to begin than a nerve impulse, while the effect can persist after the initial stimulus. Therefore option A is correct; the other choices incorrectly describe hormonal action as momentary, instantly ending, or ineffective.
