Solution

The correct option is A Epinephrine
Epinephrine is secreted from the adrenal medulla. It is commonly known as adrenaline. It is used as a temporary treatment of allergy. It constricts the blood vessel which decreases swelling and increases the blood pressure. It removes the blockage of an airway and even improves the muscle strength. It is considered as first-line treatment for the allergic reaction.
So, the correct answer is option A.
