The answer is the second one (B): Transcription.

Explanation for each option:

  • Replication: This is the process of copying DNA before cell division. Steroid or thyroid hormones do not directly control DNA replication.
  • Transcription: This is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA, which is the first step in gene expression. Steroid and thyroid hormones typically bind to their receptors, and the receptor-hormone complex then associates with specific target genes to regulate their transcription.
  • Deactivation: This term generally refers to the process of making a molecule or a gene inactive. While hormones can influence gene activity, the primary role of the receptor-hormone complex is to regulate transcription, not to deactivate genes.

Summary: Once a steroid or thyroid hormone binds to its receptor, the receptor-hormone complex associates with a target gene and controls transcription.
