Solution

The correct option is D Glucocorticoids
The adrenal cortex is located on the outer layer of the adrenal gland and makes different hormones, that help control the heart, kidneys, GI tract, bones, genitalia and immune system.
These hormones control carbohydrate metabolism, muscular integrity, haemodynamic changes and sexual maturity. The cortex makes glucocorticoids, which are hormones, that control glucose production in the liver and protein breakdown in muscle.
