The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the dramatic changes in body features associated with puberty, we will analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Puberty**: - Puberty is the stage in life when a person becomes sexually mature. It involves various physical and hormonal changes that lead to the development of secondary sexual characteristics. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **A. Thyroxine**: This hormone is primarily responsible for regulating metabolism in the body. It does not play a direct role in the changes associated with puberty. Hence, this option is incorrect. - **B. Estrogen**: This is a female sex hormone that plays a crucial role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females, such as breast development and the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Therefore, this option is correct. - **C. Adrenaline**: This hormone is involved in the body's fight-or-flight response and does not have a direct role in sexual maturity or the changes seen during puberty. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **D. Testosterone**: This is a male sex hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as increased muscle mass, body hair, and voice changes. This option is also correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both Estrogen and Testosterone are responsible for the dramatic changes in body features associated with puberty, the correct answer to the question is both B (Estrogen) and D (Testosterone). However, if we are to choose one option that represents the main changes in males, D (Testosterone) would be the most relevant choice. **Final Answer**: D. Testosterone ---
