Solution

The correct option is B Cortisol
Under stressful conditions, cortisol provides the body with glucose from protein stores via gluconeogenesis in the liver. This energy can help an individual fight or flee. Elevated cortisol over the long term consistently produces glucose, leading to increased blood sugar levels.
