Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer option is c) Thyroxine.

Explanation:

The rate at which a body uses its energy when it is at rest in order to maintain necessary functions, such as breathing, is called the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

This rate is increased by the administration of thyroxine which is secreted by the thyroid gland into the blood and plays an important role for performing vital functions within the body.
