The correct answer is d: a
target cell's response is determined by the components of its signal transduction pathways.
The response of a cell to a hormone depends on the cell’s receptor and a signal transduction. When a peptide hormone binds to a receptor on the cell membrane, a second messenger is activated in the cytoplasm. The second messenger has a role of triggering signal transduction leading to the cellular response. Lots of different signal transduction processes (for example, different intracellular proteins) are used to coordinate the behaviour of target cells.

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Genes.
Basically a Polygenetic trait is controlled by two or more genes.
Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
