\nMatching the hormones with their primary functions:
\nA. Aldosterone: This is a mineralocorticoid hormone that regulates sodium and potassium balance in the body, primarily by promoting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. It is known as a salt-retaining hormone. (A matches 3)
\nB. Oestrogen (Estrogen): This is a primary female sex hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristics (like breast development, uterine growth, etc.) and plays a key role in the menstrual cycle. (B matches 1)
\nC. Melatonin: This hormone is produced by the pineal gland and plays a crucial role in regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. (C matches 2)
\nD. Progesterone: This hormone is vital for preparing the uterus for pregnancy, maintaining the uterine lining throughout pregnancy, and preventing premature contractions. It is essential for sustaining pregnancy. (D matches 4)
\nThe correct matching is A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4.
