Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

DHEA (Dehydroepiandroster one) is a steroid precursor that is converted to active steroids in the body's tissues. It does not bind strongly to the steroid receptors in the body. It is produced in the adrenal glands and gonads and is then converted to A'dione, and A'diol, and finally into active testosterone (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC164360/)
