Solution

The correct option is D Hormones
Neurotransmitters are molecules used for direct signalling between neurons, usually by physical contact at a synapse.
So epinephrine/adrenaline is released by the adrenal gland into the bloodstream as a hormone whereas norepinephrine/noradrenaline is released by neurons in the brain as a neurotransmitter. Hence, Hormones has neurotransmitters as their effector cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Hormones'.
