Answer 2

The Main Target Organ For Tropic Hormones are Endocrine Glands.

• Tropic hormones are those hormones that act on target endocrine glands.
• These hormones stimulate target glands to secrete hormones which then act on the target cell.
• Majority of the tropic hormones are secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a tropic hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, responsible for the release of thyroid hormone from thyroid gland essential for metabolism
• Other examples of tropic hormones are- Follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, corticotropin etc.
• Hormones that directly target the main cells to influence their function are known as non-tropic hormones.
• Hormone acting on kidney to regulate homeostasis is a non - tropic hormone called as Vasopressin
• Hormone acting on the kidney and blood vessels to regulate blood pressure is the anti-diuretic hormone, which is a non-tropic hormone.

Hence the correct answer is option (3) endocrine glands
