Solution
The correct option is D Adrenaline
Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands during high stress or exciting situations.
This powerful hormone is part of the human body's acute stress response system, also called the fight or flight response. It works by stimulating the heart rate, contracting blood vessels, and dilating air passages, all of which work to increase blood flow to the muscles and oxygen to the lungs.
Additionally, it is used as a medical treatment for some potentially life-threatening conditions including anaphylactic shock.
