The following is NOT accurate about all hormones:

C) They require specific cell surface receptors to turn on cell function.

Some hormones which are lipid soluble in nature such as steroid hormones and hormones of the thyroid gland do not require cell surface receptors and can reach their target tissue directly by diffusing through the cell membrane and then they bind to specific nuclear receptors present inside the cell to turn on cell function.
