Solution

The correct option is C Dopamine
Adrenaline is synthesized from noradrenaline and is released from the adrenal medulla. While the noradrenaline is synthesized from tyrosine with dopamine as it's intermediate. So the dopamine as an intermediate of adrenaline biosynthesis serves as a neurotransmitter in the brain.
So, the correct answer is 'Dopamine'.
