B) Insulin-Glucagon

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Relaxin and inhibin are not antagonistic to each other. Relaxin is a hormone involved in pregnancy, helping to relax the ligaments in the pelvis and soften and widen the cervix in preparation for childbirth. Inhibin, on the other hand, is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and is involved in the regulation of the reproductive system. They do not have opposite effects and are not considered antagonistic.
