Why are both excess and deficiency of growth hormone important?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because both can make normal body growth abnormal
Growth hormone from the pituitary helps regulate normal growth of the body, especially during childhood and adolescence. Too little growth hormone can lead to unusually limited growth, whereas excessive secretion can produce abnormal excessive growth; the effects depend on age and developmental stage. Therefore option A correctly states why both conditions matter. The other choices describe no recognized function of growth hormone and incorrectly mix plant responses, imaginary blood changes, or nervous pathways with endocrine control.
