Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Sex hormones significantly influence human development during both prenatal and pubertal stages. Prenatally, they play a crucial role in the development of the reproductive system and other sex-differentiated characteristics. During puberty, they drive the development of secondary sexual characteristics, influence growth spurts, and affect behavior.
