(N/A) The differences between the mechanism of action of protein hormones and steroid hormones are as follows:

Protein Hormone Mechanism	Steroid Hormone Mechanism
$(1)$ These hormones bind to specific receptors located on the surface of the plasma membrane.	$(1)$ These hormones are lipid-soluble and pass through the plasma membrane to bind with intracellular receptors.
$(2)$ They generate secondary messengers such as $cAMP$ or $Ca^{2+}$ to trigger cellular responses.	$(2)$ The hormone-receptor complex directly interacts with the genome to regulate gene expression.
$(3)$ They typically regulate cellular metabolism and physiological activities through a cascade of biochemical reactions.	$(3)$ They primarily regulate physiological processes like growth and development by controlling protein synthesis.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ Oxytocin	$(1)$ Amino acid derivatives
$(B)$ Epinephrine	$(2)$ Steroid
$(C)$ Progesterone	$(3)$ Protein
$(D)$ Growth hormone	$(4)$ Peptide
