D) hormone: receptor

The analogy here is that a horse needs a rider to control and guide its actions, similar to how a hormone needs a receptor to bind and elicit its biological response. In both cases, the first item (horse/hormone) is dependent on the second item (rider/receptor) to carry out its function effectively.

I hope this helped!
