Solution

The correct option is B Insulin
Adrenaline: It helps in regulating visceral functions(internal organs of a body).

Insulin: It is a harmone secreted by the pancreas that lowers blood glucose level by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen by the liver and skeletal muscle.

Cortisone: It is a steroid harmone, not secreted by adrenal gland. It helps in decreasing inflammation and swelling in the body.

Bile acid: These are also called digestive surfactants and helps in absorption of lipids and act as an emulsifier.

Hence, (b) is correct.
