Answer 1

(1)

Explanation:

The hormones are chemical substances secreted by endocrine glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is true.

Hormones are not poured directly into nearby target organs. They are released into the bloodstream and may act on target organs located far from the gland that secretes them. Therefore, the Reason (R) is false.

Hence, A is true and R is false.
