Solution

The correct option is C Adrenaline
  • Adrenaline is secreted by adrenal medulla during a stressful situation. It increases the metabolic rate, dilation of blood vessels that enter the heart and the brain.
  • The blood vessels of the skin and kidneys constrict to supply more blood to the heart and the brain. Hence it initiates a quick reaction in a person during stress.
  • This is called a fight and flight response. Hence adrenaline is called emergency hormone.
    Thus the correct answer is option C.
