Solution

The correct option is B adrenal glands

The adrenal glands are two glands that sit on top of our kidneys. They secrete the hormone known as adrenaline. Adrenaline creates a 'fight or flight' response. 'Fight or flight' is a type of response that helps us prepare to face or runaway from a dangerous situation.
