Answer
c) lock and key theoryThe lock and key theory describes the specific interaction between a receptor (the lock) and a hormone (the key). Hormones have unique shapes that complement the shape of their specific receptors. This allows for a precise interaction, ensuring that the hormone only affects cells with the appropriate receptor.
