The correct option is D

Catabolic effect on protein and carbohydrate metabolism


Androgens are male hormones which bring about secondary sexual characters in males. They are anabolic hormones, i.e., they help in “building up” processes such as glycogen formation. Catabolic effect includes breakdown of larger substances to simpler substances to release energy.
