Solution

The correct option is B Norepinephrine, Adrenal medulla, Increase heartbeat, increase rate of respiration and alertness
Vasopressin is released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland and it stimulates the reabsorption of water and electrolytes.
Norepinephrine is secreted by the adrenal medulla and it increases the alertness, heartbeat and respiratory rate.
Glucagon is released by alpha cells and it increases the blood sugar level.
Prolactin is released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and it helps in the regulation of mammary glands and the formation of milk in them.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Norepinephrine, Adrenal medulla, Increase heartbeat, increase rate of respiration and alertness.'
