Solution

The correct option is A Adrenaline
Adrenaline/ epinephrine is normally produced by both the adrenal glands and certain neurons. It plays an important role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation response, and blood sugar level. Since it was an emergency to save the body, adrenaline was released.
So the correct answer is option A.
