Solution
The correct option is A Adrenaline
Adrenaline is secreted from adrenal medulla in response to stress conditions in the body. Androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone (form of androgens), cortisol and aldosterone are corticoid hormones secreted by adrenal cortex. They are steroid hormones that regulate water balance and electrolyte balance in the body. Adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and sexocorticoids (androgens).
