(d)

Both (a) and (c).

Hormones produce their effects on target tissue by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors which are located in the target tissue only. Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane of the target cells are called membrane bound receptors and receptors present inside the target cell are called intracellular receptors. Intracellular receptors are mostly nuclear receptors (present in the nucleus)
