Answer :

What is local signaling?

Unlike hormones, some signaling molecules act directly to influence the conduct of neighboring cells.

A molecule released by one cell acts on neighboring target cells in paracrine signaling. The action of neurotransmitters in carrying signals between nerve cells at a synapse is one example.

Thus, the signal is most likely to be local signaling. The correct option is D.
