b) the distance travelled by hormones is always short
c) the glands release their secretions through ducts
d) the response time is always fast

Explanation:

1. For the first question, diabetic - ketoacidosis (DKA) occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. FBS stands for fasting blood sugar, GH for growth hormone, PTH for parathyroid hormone, and TFT for thyroid function test.
