Why do animals need both nervous and hormonal control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: For both quick immediate response and slow long-term control
The governing concept is division of control functions between the nervous and endocrine systems. Nerve impulses travel rapidly and are suited to immediate, localized responses such as withdrawal from danger. Hormones travel through blood more slowly and often produce broader, longer-lasting effects such as growth and puberty changes. Hence A is correct; B and C are too narrow, and D is false because the systems differ in speed.
