Solution

The correct option is C Adrenalin
Key actions of adrenaline include increasing the heart rate, increasing blood pressure, expanding the air passages of the lungs, enlarging the pupil in the eye (see photo), redistributing blood to the muscles and altering the body's metabolism, so as to maximize blood glucose levels (primarily for the brain). So, the correct option is "B" (Adrenalin).
