Solution

The correct option is A
liver
(c) liver.

Adrenaline acts on the liver to release glucose by breakdown of glycogen so that enough energy can be generated for the emergency situations.
Insulin acts on the liver cells to take up the glucose from the blood and convert it into glycogen so that the level of the glucose in the blood is maintained.
