Answer:
d. none of the above.
Explanation:
The growth hormone from the pituitary gland targets soft and hard tissues. It is responsible for growth during the growing years. Hypersecretion of growth hormone in adults causes acromegaly. Closure of epiphyseal plates in long bones occurs after the growing age. Therefore, long bone growth is not possible in response to growth hormone in adults. But bones of the feet, hands, and face become overly large in these organisms.
