The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Processes**: - Gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesizing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. - Lipolysis refers to the breakdown of fats into fatty acids and glycerol. - Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids. 2. **Identifying the Hormones**: - The question asks which hormones stimulate these processes. The two main types of hormones involved are glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. 3. **Role of Glucocorticoids**: - Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, are secreted from the adrenal cortex. They play a significant role in regulating metabolism, including stimulating gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis. 4. **Role of Mineralocorticoids**: - Mineralocorticoids primarily regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. They do not significantly influence gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, or proteolysis. 5. **Evaluating the Options**: - Option A (glucocorticoids) is correct because they stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis. - Option B (mineralocorticoids) is incorrect since they do not stimulate these processes. - Option C (both 1 and 2) is incorrect as only glucocorticoids stimulate these processes. - Option D (none of them) is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is Option A: Glucocorticoids.
