Q: Which one of the following is a protein derivatives hormone?  

Answer: C

Protein hormones, also known as polypeptide hormones, are hormones made up of chains of amino acids. They are water-soluble and are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of the cell before being secreted. Gonadotropic hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), somatotrophic hormone (STH), and thyrotropic hormone (TSH) are all protein derivatives hormones. Gonadotropic hormones are released by the anterior pituitary gland and are involved in the regulation of the reproductive system, while STH, also known as growth hormone, is involved in the regulation of growth and metabolism. TSH is released by the pituitary gland and regulates the thyroid gland's hormone secretion.
