The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, let's analyze each one step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (a) **Statement (a): Cortisol suppresses the immune response.** - Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. It is known to have immunosuppressive effects, meaning it can reduce the activity of the immune system. This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (b) **Statement (b): Thyroxine supports the process of red blood cell formation.** - Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland and plays a role in various metabolic processes, including the stimulation of erythropoiesis (the formation of red blood cells). This statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement (c) **Statement (c): Glucagon stimulates glycogenesis process.** - Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises blood glucose levels by promoting glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen to glucose) and gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources). It does not stimulate glycogenesis (the formation of glycogen from glucose). This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement (d) **Statement (d): Androgens stimulate muscular growth, aggressiveness, high pitch of voice.** - Androgens are male sex hormones, such as testosterone, that are known to promote muscle growth and can influence behavior, including aggressiveness. However, androgens are associated with a lower pitch of voice rather than a high pitch. Therefore, this statement is **partially correct** but ultimately **incorrect** due to the high pitch of voice claim. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Statement (a) is correct. - Statement (b) is correct. - Statement (c) is incorrect. - Statement (d) is incorrect. Thus, the correct statements are **(a) and (b)**. ### Final Answer The correct statements are: **(a) and (b)**. ---
