Solution

The correct option is C Adrenal gland
Adrenal gland is composed of two types of tissues. The centrally located tissue is called the adrenal medulla, and outside lie the adrenal cortex


The adrenal medulla secretes two hormones called adrenaline or epinephrine and noradrenaline or norepinephrine. These are commonly called as catecholamine. Adrenaline and noradrenaline are rapidly secreted in response to stress of any kind and during emergency situations and are called emergency hormones or hormones of Fight or Flight

The thyroid gland is composed of two lobes which are located on either side of the trachea.
The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain of most vertebrates.
The pituitary gland is called the "master gland” of the endocrine system because it controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands.

Hence, the correct answer is Adrenal gland.
