Question

The correct option is C adrenal medulla

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

So the correct option is adrenal medulla.
