The correct option is C) controls metabolic rate.

Thyroxine, produced by the thyroid gland, is the main hormone responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism, including how fast the body uses energy and makes proteins.

Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), the active form, affect almost every cell in the body. They increase the basal metabolic rate, influence protein synthesis, help regulate long bone growth, and play a role in neural maturation. Blood glucose levels are primarily controlled by insulin and glucagon, ovulation by FSH, LH, and estrogen, and maintenance of pregnancy mainly by progesterone.
