Answer:

The correct answer is B) Target Cell

Step-by-step explanation:

When a cell becomes programmed to respond to a particular hormone, it is called a target cell. Usually, for this to happen, it will maintain a functional receptor for the hormone in question.

Target cells are found in animal circulatory systems.

Cheers
