Answer: (C)

Above the kidneys

• The adrenal glands are found located on the top of the kidneys in the human body and are roughly 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.
• Adrenaline is one of the several hormones produced by these glands. Along with norepinephrine and dopamine, it is a catecholamine, which is a group of hormones released in response to stress.
