Solution

The correct option is A True
Adrenaline is often described as the emergency hormone because it is released in response to anxiety, exercise, or fear. When adrenaline is released, it signals the brain to redirect energy and blood from the internal organs to the muscles to prepare to fight or flee.So adrenaline is also called as flight or fight hormone. Adrenaline causes an increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and rapid, shallow respiration. The body temperature will increase and cause sweating.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
