In which situation would hormonal control be more suitable than nervous control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Control of long-term body growth
The governing concept is the contrast between nervous and hormonal coordination. Nervous control uses rapid electrical impulses and is ideal for immediate, short-lived actions such as withdrawal, blinking, or a reflex. Hormonal control uses chemical messengers carried through body fluids; it is generally slower but can produce sustained effects. Long-term growth is therefore best represented by option A, while B, C, and D are rapid nervous responses.
