Hormones and enzymes may share some similarities in their actions and chemical nature, but they are not considered to be highly similar in general. While hormones can be proteinaceous in nature, not all hormones are proteins. Additionally, enzymes are primarily involved in catalyzing chemical reactions, whereas hormones primarily function as signaling molecules. Therefore, neither the Assertion nor the Reason accurately describes the relationship between hormones and enzymes. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
