What term describes the criticisms of human pheromones?

• A. Pheromones and humans
• B. Endocrine glands
• C. Criticisms of human pheromones
• D. Examples of hormones

Answer: (C)

This question is about how we label the skeptical analyses surrounding human pheromones. The best descriptor is “criticisms of human pheromones” because it directly names the doubt, methodological concerns, and lack of consensus that researchers raise about whether humans truly emit pheromones and what effects they might have. The other options don’t capture that critical framing: one pairs pheromones with humans in a general way, another is about endocrine glands, and the last is about hormones in general. So the term that focuses on the debates and evaluation of evidence fits best.
