The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one to determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (a): Element important for production of thyroxine is iodine.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, and iodine is an essential element required for its synthesis. Without iodine, the body cannot produce sufficient amounts of thyroxine. - **Conclusion:** Statement (a) is true. 2. **Statement (b): Vitamin B6 is niacin or nicotinic acid.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is incorrect. Vitamin B6 refers to pyridoxine, while niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is different and is referred to as nicotinic acid. Therefore, vitamin B6 is not niacin. - **Conclusion:** Statement (b) is false. 3. **Statement (c): Fructose is a hexose monosaccharide.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. Fructose is indeed a monosaccharide that contains six carbon atoms, making it a hexose. It is also known for being one of the sweetest sugars and is commonly found in fruits. - **Conclusion:** Statement (c) is true. 4. **Statement (d): Globulin is a conjugate protein.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is incorrect. Globulin is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system and does not contain any other chemical groups attached to it, which is a characteristic of conjugate proteins. Conjugate proteins are those that have non-protein components attached. - **Conclusion:** Statement (d) is false. ### Summary of Evaluations: - Statement (a) is true. - Statement (b) is false. - Statement (c) is true. - Statement (d) is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that statements A and C are correct, while statements B and D are wrong. ---
