Solution
The correct option is A Steroid
The adrenal cortex secretes hormones which are corticosteroids, namely glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids regulate glucose metabolism and mineralocorticoids regulate water and electrolyte balance in the body. If the adrenal cortex is removed the secretion of cortiosteroids or corticoids will be affected.
