a) the receptor migrates to the nucleus and begins transcriptions

b) the hormone binds with a receptor on the nuclear envelope and stimulates transcription

c)a signaling cascade relays the signal forms the receptors to the nucleus

d)the hormone is incorporated into the plasma membrane

Explanation / Answer

A) the receptor migrates to nuclues and begin transcription

Note - the lipid soluble hormone diffuse the plasma membrane , hormone bind to receptor in cytoplasm and move toward the nucleus where it stimulate the transcription process
